I am interested to find out what others are doing to keep the rubber boots for the cv joints in good condition. Someone told me to keep them sprayed with silicone. What do you think? What are you doing to protect your boots?

All we doo, is clean and inspect them after each ride and also the area around them to make sure there is no debris around.

That is a great question. I had not thought about spray silicone but that might be the ticket....

I just make sure they are clean and inspected after every ride (alright, every other ride...or so...I better go check them now...)

Some silicone spray every once in a while will keep the boots pliable and prevent dry rot.
