This grease boot tends to tear pretty regularly and it is a fixed boot.
Is there any reason not to cut it off and use something like this in place of a greasable boot?
I can only guess that the issue with doing that is (1) the rubber mount would be too harsh, (2) the rubber will not allow for enough movement of the components, (3) the rubber will wear out quickly and deteriorate due to the constant rubbing, (4) it won't allow the TRE to seat fully and will hinder it's 360* rotation of the post.
Bad idea, or is it one of those "give it a try and let us know how it works" kind of deals?
