haha, I know Im not really a curious new comer, but I still got a question that I think would piss everyone off if I made it a thread. Im going to buy an SR fork and buffs, but I'd like to know what is the difference between a reinforced threaded SR fork, and a threadless fork + compression system. Is it that the threadless spins faster is stronger and tighter with the compression system and that the threaded one is looser and less strong. or is it just the price? Im pretty much going for the threadless + compression syst. but if I could save a few bucks, it would still be good for my wallet :)

go with the threadless, youre threadless headset will work better with it and you can dial it easier. and yes threadless is stronger too.

in threaded forks the threads cut into the fork so it makes it thinner in the crevices of the threads, therefor it is weaker. then the fact that the threads eventually make threads on your bars from clamping hard. these threads on your bars now make your bars weaker.

and another plus with threadless is the contact area. when you clamp there is more friction holding the bars to the forks so they will hold better.


case and point, threadless is all-around better.

my friend rode his skateboard for about two months with some black panther bearings (don't remember the brand), and he gave them to me, and i just put them on, and i roll forever. i think its best to let a skateboarder brake in bearings for you, and if its broken in real good, it doesn't matter what type of bearing it is

An allyoop is when you air out of a quarterpipe in a direction but spin the oppsite direction. So you would air out and be moving in this --> direction and be spinning this <-- direction. Ill try and find a video.

Edit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iAO4RsHjCo This is skiing but notice how he is moving to the right but spinning to the left. That is an alley oop.
