I am embarassed to be asking so many dumb q:'s of late, but how to pull the lower shrouds off?? I'd LIKE to do it reversibly so I can put them back on if I decide I do not like the gaiters, which is unlikely.



If you are referring to the chrome conical shrouds that fit on top of the fork springs then the removal is quite easy. They are held on by friction from some O-rings so all you need to do is twist and pull up at the same time. When you fit the gaiters, the same O-rings will hold the lower part of the gaiters in place.


I took mine off a long time ago, but I seem to remember stay bolts at least on the lower shrouds? The top ones are captured 'tween the upper and lower tree segments. A little weazelpizz (WD 40) helps them slide right off.
