    Any ideas on how to repair said rubber boot? There is a sizeable crack, and it's enough to make the assembly bob while riding.
    Thanks!

    I think you mean the "stalk" - I repaired one by injecting black RTV into where the internal bolt is, then wrapped TIGHTLY with black electrical tape.

    You could just source a used one from FleaBay.

    I used Shoe Goo. It worked ok but sold the bike the same day I fixed it so I don't know how long the fix lasted. You can get new replacement ones of ebay.

    Yeh, super glue works great. New stems are cheap, order some new ones.
