Rub your thumb nail around it and you should feel it.<br /> I'm a clydesdale and I put between 3000 and 4000 miles on it a year and I just put a new one on every year. It's a piece of mind for me and for 60 bucks it's not that bad.</p> <p>Here's the instructions.</p> <p><a href="http://moots.com/wp-content/uploads/TECHpaper_YBBshock.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://moots.com/wp-content/uploads/TECHpaper_YBBshock.pdf</a></p> <p>Enjoy it,<br /> Woody </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=7198#post-10981 Wed, 23 May 2012 08:01:34 +0000 JohnE 10981@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Okay...new YBB owner here.

It stays clean and I occasionally wipe off the old grease and relube.</p> <p>The DuPont Teflon bearing grease keeps it like new -no scoring.</p> <p><a href="http://store.lizardskins.com/products/rear-suspension-boot" rel="nofollow">http://store.lizardskins.com/products/rear-suspension-boot</a> </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=7198#post-10661 Tue, 15 May 2012 03:54:44 +0000 edebolt 10661@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>can get a lot more life out of the slider with a neoprene bootie around the stanchion. I don't have a picture handy but they are easy to make with neoprene and some velcro. I use zip ties around the bottom and top to prevent anything getting inside. Mine wraps around the bottom like a diaper. It barely gets anything inside even in really dusty and wet conditions. I ride my Ybb about 10k a year and 5 years is really easy between replacements. Also can rotate the stanchion after a while to get more life out of it. </p> <p>Why Moots never offered a bootie is beyond me. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=7198#post-10658 Tue, 15 May 2012 02:55:18 +0000 sbsbiker 10658@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Mine is only three years old and I think the spring inside is starting to show. I think it'll make it another couple of rides. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=7198#post-10642 Mon, 14 May 2012 20:44:53 +0000 JonC 10642@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Shredder,<br /> '07! Yep, it's time. All bets are off on the creaking....very seldomly does the Ybb unit itself make a noise. BB?, Seatpost?....check those as well.</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Jon@Moots </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=7198#post-10640 Mon, 14 May 2012 20:19:13 +0000 Shredder 10640@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>My bike is an 07 and on the original, so I guess it's due. LOL. I don't really ride in any mud though. I'll get one ordered up. Will a worn out make a strange creaking noise? </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=7198#post-10637 Mon, 14 May 2012 19:23:28 +0000 JonC 10637@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Shredder,<br /> You will get 1-2 seasons of riding out of the slider, depending on milage and conditions. Those that ride where it is more wet than not, will run thorugh a slider in a season of heavy use.</p> <p>How long do you have on yours?</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Jon@Moots </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=7198#post-10632 Fri, 11 May 2012 17:13:00 +0000 Shredder 10632@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>When should the slider be replaced? I know they're supposed to get scored, but mine's starting to get what looks like a crimp in it. I'm guessing it's time to go? </p>
