Compressing your forks while transporting

[Ten Bar]

When you transport a bike using Tie Downs it obviously compress's the fork for a period of time - can this really cause any damage? - Surely NOT- when riding your forks probably go up and down a few thousands times so why will compressing the fork while transporting the bike cause any damage.

It wont do any damage at all

Agree - like Sanke Oil and Balance Bracelets, Fork Savers are for the weak of conviction...

I am also of the belief that they are a waste of time. I have made some and invariably they end up having fallen out anyway, but i also no not believe you need to strap your forks down until they fully compress like i have seen some people do.

My best is a ratchet strap on the rear wheel and then loosely strapped on the front

I doubt it does damage, but for me it was always just easier to tie down bikes with 'fork savers'. There was a time when you could dismantle club class trophies for a certain series and use the fork saver so there was no real reason not to try it.

Fork savers are another unnecessary aftermarket gimmik _ same as all the Tupperware parts for a Raptor

Maybe fork "saver" is the incorrect name for the product.

I always use them when im loading 2 bikes on a bakkie or when I load my bike on a trailer. It wont save my forks but it will prevent the bike from moving around during transportation.
