Doesn't it attract all the grit & mud?

I was thinking of doing the same with Dynax S50 cavity wax (which I've already got) but it'll spray everything else too - the spray isn't exactly controllable.

Nah! Wipe it on, wipe it off. I've not found it to be a problem and on these modern plasticky rubbers, it seem to last better with it on. Seems to stop the drying out and cracking.

My arms arrived from DMGRS today.
Lets hope this gets rid of that annoying clunk!
Thanks everyone for the tips above.

Hi Rich
Could you post up a photo of the bushes fitted to the end of the arms please, do they have the substantial rubber in them ?
