Bolt plates and bolts are fine, really just cosmetic, you can use any old bolts, but you're supporting scootering d:
And i believe HIC only matters about the fork? I know French id forks and the SenioR forks are HIC compatible. You can use any clamp with any threadless bars but you need a starnut in the bars, but half knuxxx look amazing and are strong.


correct me if i'm wrong anyone d:

im pretty sure that HIC works with any fork currently available,but im not using HIC yet,i just wanna know if i can use the bars without the hic and once i get the threadless fork and headset i will use the bars for HIC

wrong. hic is about the bars, and you should only run it on threadless forks with a threadless headset.

HIC:
A shim, with one end closed and a hole drilled in it, is placed ove the top of the forks.
and a bolt, screws donw the hole at the top of the shimcovering your forks, and is screwed into something at the bottom of your forks (starnut) thus, compresing your headst downwards.
It requires bars that are slightly wider in diameter, so that they fit over the top of the shim.

Stfu liltony, you can put threadless headsets on thread forks, but you can only put the cups on. You still nead a locknut.

You cannot just put HIC Bars on normal threadless forks. The inner diameter will be too big and loose to fit around the forks. That's why they require a shim. You can use a pro model clamp on oversized bars, but you'll have to stretch it.

The amount of flawless logic in here amazes me.

HIC - is kind of a shim that goes between your fork and your bars.
You put a starnut in your fork, hic over the fork, cap on top, bolt trough the cap and tighten into the starnut, that's how it works. And that's why you use it with threadless forks, no use for it on threaded, since you can just use the big nut...

THEN, after you've done this, you put your bars ON THE HIC.
But since the HIC is a shim, that has it's thickness, your bars need to have a bigger ID (inner diameter) to fit on it (called, oversized...sounds logically). Once you got such bars, you put them over the HIC, and tighten the clamps.

You've done it, you're running a HIC compression successfully and you know now what it's about.

EDIT: if you didn't get it by now. You'll have too much free space between your fork and bars (the space the HIC shim would fill) so you won't be able to clamp them onto your fork (ID is too big)...
