I can't. From a practical standpoint, I don't see the need to completely disassemble my fork to install an o-ring on the off chance that a zip-tie might scratch the stanchion the couple times it gets pushed to it's limit. I do have an open mind, however, so I might change my opinion if evidence were to be presented of this purported zip-tie scoring on stanchions.
