FEATURES

FOR ALL STANCHIONS

Scratch Cover can be used on all the stanchions : Fork, dropper post, rear air shock. Tools and process are similar for all of them.

Developed specifically for mountain biking, the Scratch Cover © stanchion scratch repair kit visually reduces scratches, restores the smooth finish of your fork's stanchion, and thereby preserves the performance of your suspension.

Why use Scratch Cover?

Although most of the latest-generation forks feature closed cartridges, a scratched stanchion carries a risk of premature wear.

The impact created a displacement of material, with a protruding burr on the surface ¹ and a groove in the body ².

You risk quickly damaging your suspension:

By generating friction with every compression
By scraping the seals with the protruding part
By introducing dirt inside the lower leg

These consequences lead to several problems:

Degraded performance
Costly repairs
Depreciation of your equipment

IMPORTANT NOTE: This product is intended to repair surface scratches only. If your stanchion has suffered any deformation, contact your retailer's After-Sales service immediately and do not use your fork under any circumstances.

AVAILABLE IN 2 COLORS

Scratch Cover is available in black or transparent resin.
Unfortunately no gold version exists for the moment.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The Scratch Cover © stanchion scratch repair kit includes all the accessories needed to repair your stanchion without any other tools, whether at home or on the go (traveling or competing). The repair is carried out in 4 steps:

Maintain the proper functioning of your suspension

Although most modern forks feature sealed cartridges, a scratched stanchion can lead to premature wear.The impact caused material to shift on the stanchion, leaving a burr on the surface. It can quickly damage your suspension:

By generating friction with each compression;
By scraping the seals with the protruding part;
By introducing dirt inside the fork leg.

Avoid expensive repairs

There are other solutions to this problem, but they are significantly more expensive:

Replacing the entire crown/steerer/stanchion assembly;
Replacing the stanchion alone.

In addition to the cost of new parts, these repairs require complete disassembly and reassembly of the fork.

Quick and Easy Repair

With the Scratch Cover kit, you have all the tools and instructions you need to perform the repair yourself in less than 12 hours. This means your bike will be out of service for only a very short time.

APPROVED BY EXPERTS

Scratch Cover is not only a DIY kit for riders, it is trusted and used by many bike shops and suspension service centers all around the world, which appreciate how quick, cost-effective and easy it is to use for repairing scratches on their customers' forks and providing a top notch service.

Scratch shock

Works perfect, the scratch was superficial so the black color doesn't works but is perfectly repared

Top et facile a mettre en oeuvre

Suite a un problème de rayure sur ma fourche on m’a conseillé ce kit et j’en suis très satisfait !! pour 40 euros j’ai évité un changement de fourche

Highly recommended

They give you more than enough to fix several scratches. Like realistically you could run a bike shop for a while off a single box.

I wish the instructions were a bit more descriptive. I’m left to assume I did it correctly but have some gaps in knowledge.

I also wish they had a kashima color as well.

Highly recommended either way!

Great product

Great product that is easy to use and works flawlessly.

Avis mitigé sur le produit : impacts réparés, mais couleur transparente.

Le kit est vraiment complet : lime, doseurs, papiers ponçage, etc...
La version en couleur noire a été choisie pour réparer des impacts sur une tige de selle, mais le rendu esthétique final n'est pas du tout à la hauteur des espérances : le mélange résine noire + durcisseur (transparent) produit une préparation bien foncée dans le doseur, mais une fois appliquée sur la tige de selle, c'est transparent.
Les impacts ne se sentent plus au toucher, mais visuellement rien n'a changé : on voit l'aluminium !

Fork Repair for Less Money

My Rock Shox Sid found a rock and made a nice impact mark and a long scratch. After a quick search I found this product and gave it a try. The repair process was straight forward and fairly simple. The epoxy pooled a bit more than I expected, making the sanding process long and slow. I did make a YouTube vid of my experience. Weekends with Frank&Christine. I look forward to testing the durability over the next season.

Réparation tige de selle Fox Kashima

Très bon produit. J'ai utilisé le transparent en raison du revêtement couleur OR Kashima. Après avoir suivi les différentes étapes, le résultat est quasi parfait au niveau fonctionnelle. La grosse entaille est bouchée. Reste la trace visible au niveau esthétique puisque transparent. Très satisfait de ce produit qui à sauvé mon plongeur et une réparation très couteuse.

Repaired fork !

The kit is complete with easy to follow instructions but it requires meticulousness and a little time. Do not put in too much resin as it takes time to remove excess resin with fine sandpaper.
The result is very satisfying, you don't feel the scratch anymore and you hardly see it. The repair seems to hold well. Highly recommanded for all DIYers

FAQ

What aesthetic result can be expected?

Because no two scratches are alike, no two results are the same.

Scratch Cover's priority is to make the plunger smooth again to extend the fork's life.

The aesthetic result is more unpredictable and will largely depend on the depth of the scratches: the deeper the scratch, the easier it is to fill with resin; the more superficial the scratch, the more difficult it will be to conceal because the surface treatment is extremely fine.

In most cases, Scratch Cover will not make your plunger look like new, but it will visually reduce the appearance of the scratch.

Can Scratch Cover also work on scratches on enduro motorcycle fork stanchions?

We think so, and several customers have already confirmed this.
The mechanical stresses aren't that different, and the epoxy resin is very durable.

Why isn't there a gold version for Fox Kashima dives?

It's easy to achieve a very dense black color from a small amount of black liquid pigment, but it's significantly more difficult to achieve gold.Gold coloring would require a very large quantity of powdered pigment to ensure good coverage of the striped areas.

Incorporating a significant amount of this powder into the epoxy/hardener mix alters the resin's mechanical properties and therefore the durability of the repair.

Why does it take 6 to 8 hours to dry?

We use a high strength epoxy resin. This resin is a thermosetting liquid polymer. Its drying time can vary from 6 to 8 hours depending on the ambient temperature and humidity. Make sure to mix the 2 liquids for at least 3 minutes, this step is key so that the resin dries completely within the announced time.

Should you replace the fork stanchion after an impact?

If it's a simple, superficial impact that doesn't alter the stanchion's shape, replacing the fork stanchion isn't necessary.The important thing is to repair it as soon as possible after the impact to avoid damaging the seals. However, if the tube is deformed, it's essential to stop using the fork immediately.
