Proflex 752 '92 // Melting elastomer...

[ringo]

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm Cheese!

I didn't know they did that! When I order some from the States I won't be leaving them out in the sun!

Take it, it's been warm down south today...?

Re: proflex

oh they are allergic to the sun as well but i guess you have realized that now

you can say that again..
It was only max. 25 degrees overhere today (Celcius that is).
I have the smaller black ones, I will install them instead of this.

If your not to fussed about keeping the origional yellow colour there are a few car bushes you can use to make it work as well as they can on the rear.

Yes, even a brand new elastomer will do that - they really don't appreciate the old UV rays...

The Landrover bushes mod would be your best bet, though I have seen coil-over conversions too which look pretty cool (bit pricier as well)...

This must be the most ridiculus flaw in bicycle history.
"Look, we invented a full suspension bike, one thing though, don't ride in the sun!"
I have a few of the black smaller ones I can install, like this one:

Hope they don't melt or explode or something :roll:

Seeing the Stumpy in the pic again, does anyone know what year it is?
I still have to do something with it..
