May 30, 200620 yr I have Gasgas 280 txt 02 and while cleaning my boots I noticed they are wearing through where rubbing on frame protectors, on inside of leg! Has anyone else had this problem or is it my riding style (stance). Have taken off plastic protector and moved gear lever down a notch on splines now to see if this helps.Can this hole be repaired by a cobbler if it gets too bad and leaks through.
May 30, 200620 yr It's more likely to be your chain causing the hole, trialscast make a guard to protect against this.
May 30, 200620 yr Author No , do not think it is chain as it is too high up the boot, level with top of protector.
May 30, 200620 yr It will be your chain YOU HAVE USED WORDS OR A PHRASE WHICH ARE NOT PERMITTED ON THIS WEBSITE. PLEASE DELETE YOUR POST/TOPIC. DO NOT TRY TO CIRCUMVENT THE FILTERS IN PLACE ON THIS WEBSITE do a gaurd as well which also protects the frame.
May 31, 200620 yr Author Think you are right, I am knocking up a chain guard out of stainless steel - cheers.
June 1, 200620 yr my boot wore through in the same place. i worked it out to be the forward screw that holds the plastic chain guard on.
June 1, 200620 yr Thats what you get for buying a gasser, along with a frame made from old table legs.
June 2, 200620 yr If you find that it isnt the chain and is where you stand then get your cobbler to put to extra pieces of leather on the boot for you it doesnt cost much either for it done and will save your boots.
