They are expensive. I bought a 10-pack for $7 from Rocky Mountain ATV. Your goggles have to have tear off posts. I only bought them because HardTaco has apparently, against my better judgement, talked me into racing a hare scramble next weekend. I wouldn't use them for regular riding, I don't think, because if everyone did it, the tear offs would litter up the area. Maybe you could stash used ones in a pocket and throw them away when you got home.

 

i wouldnt just throw them on the ground, im so sick of people doing that ****. were losing more and more trails to stupid **** like that. and $7 for a 10 pack is quite redicilous, i think ill stick to squinting

 

I agree on the price. But I went all day today with them on and didn't need to pull one, so they might last a while. I just wore them today to get used to them for next weekend. I've never raced before, but I'm guessing folks there aren't quite so courteous as your riding buddies when it comes to giving you a face full of dirt. [:@]

 

So what exactly is a hare scramble race?

 

Hare Scrambles
Hare scrambles are conducted on long, marked loop courses through woods and over rugged natural terrain. Events are run for a designated number of laps or length of time, typically two hours. Competitive riders not only need to be fast, but also physically fit enough to maintain a race pace for hours.

I think it would be fun to try. I have ridden on a hare scramble course... but wasnt racing... some nasty stuff... at least in the hills of WV it is.

 

....That's awesome......LOL.....Maybe it's a PNW slang term for them....

 

so whats the deal - you wrap it around the fork shaft and slide it down into the seal to clean the seal off then pull it out?

 

Pretty much...You just slide them under the lip of the seal and carefully try to remove the dirt or whatever is holding the seal lip open allowing it to leak...
