Or not. I have been running a Fox Float R since 1999 without opening it. I only wipe it clean after
every ride. I do not use a shock boot either. Leaks nothings, I only check the pressure once a
month. Maybe I'm just lucky, but this shock has worked like a dream all years. Knock on wood...

Those shock boots do little more than hold the dirt in and rub the coating off anyway. You are
lucky, lucky you are 150lbs.

"ah", said the blind man, "now I see".

Peace, Bill The mind serves properly as a window glass rather than as a reflector, that is, the mind
should give an immediate view instead of an interpretation of the world.
