Way wipers

[zytooohParticipant @zytoooh]

Hi again

I’m just looking for a consensus of opinion regarding materials for use as way wipers.

I am thinking of making and fitting some to the saddle of my zyto.

My ideas are thick felt, but would this become a dirt trap and cause more trouble than it prevents?

The second is thick leather, a bit less absorbant than the felt but a similar idea.

Or finally sheet rubber, I have some 1.5mm from a rubber roof job and could even double it up if needed. Flexible, fairly tough, not exactly absorbant (perhaps with oil slightly).

Please let me know what you think either way or even not to bother.

Thanks

Peter
