Bars are getting crooked over time. Help?

[-Sal-]

i straighten out my bars perfectly with my wheels, ride for about a day or two, then they slowly become crooked. Idk if it is my starnut or what but has anyone ever have this problem?

I am currently running an Epic fork with a proto full SCS.

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not sure either. Same shit happens to me though. And I tighten that bitch like crazy. Like tighter then a nuns vagina

Do you have standard size bars?

 

[scootLife]

is it the bars turning in the clamp (everything stays lined up but the bars)or the whole clamp turning with the bars
(or is the clamp and bars not lined up with the fork and wheel) ?

im pretty sure that it is the bars.

and yes i do have standard sized bars

do they have a slit like a tiny one?

Thats why, because shims don't hold the bars very well.

Mine are standard with a slit but with a shim inside so I can run scs. It doesn't compress so it's basically slitless

thats some BS then if they dont hold them in well haha i guess ill need to tape the bottom of my bars or get a new shim or something...

and Juan, i would think that you would need something more than a shim inside your bars if you were to run SCS with a slit. Normally people use a broken forktube. That should solve your problem.

What you can do is cut a soda can into the shape of the shim, and put it in-between the clamp shim and your bars.. that will make it a much tighter fit.
