Is it normal to go through lvl 10 bumpers so quick?

[mostpeople]

I literally installed one a week and a half ago, and after 2 days of play its starting to get ripped.. and its an odd rip too. The lvl 10 bumper is a washer shaped piece of rubbery material. And the rip is actually a fraction of a mm inside the inner diameter, if you get what I mean. What could cause this? Is this normal?

I oil the hell out of my X valve so unless tossing oil in the ASA and a little bit of oil on the powertube for the lvl 10 bolt is not the correct places to oil this thing, I dont know whats wrong.

Any help is appreciated.

what color is the bumper?

Yes, they're prone to getting chewed up pretty fast.

What's the difference between the blue classic bumpers and the x/rt-valve bumpers? They have different properties, but are the same material. Are they different thickness, or do they have a different "impact absorption" property?


Yes, you can use a L7 on an X-Valve, you will lose the "anti-chop" feature. I believe you might need to change the powertube spacer to go with the Level 7 bolt and the level 7 powertube tip as well.
