Compression kit for threaded forks?

[mattyts]

So i let this kid have a go on my scoot and he commented on how loose my threadless headset was and his was so dialed and i asked him how he did it and he said he used a compression kit with threaded forks? he said it was a starnut in your bars and a long bolt that goes through your fork and into the strnut then you tigfhten it up then tighten your clamp,true? and which compression type is this?

 

[Kroto]

ics?

 

[Chadders55]

Ics which is probably the worst compression in my oppion and if you have a threadless headset you might as well get threadless forks and a compression becasue threadless forks are alot stronger and with thrreaded forks just tighten the locknut dont go and buy a Ics

 

[Connzi machell]

ics and you probably shouldn't use compression on threaded forks.

 

[mattyts]

So what do i do about my headset becoming undiALED?

 

[Kieran Mayhew]

Tighten the locknut?

 

[R-Dubya]

Threaded IS A COMPRESSION. It's not like when you have a threaded setup you don't have compression, the locknut compresses the headset. It's called THREADED COMPRESSION.

 

[mattyts]

I understand but my locknut on my threadless headset is constantly coming lose after a few bar spins,so my friend reccomended i get a compression kit?

use Lock-Tite on the threads of inside of the nut

 

[Snyder]

no, pound the bars down on the locknut father.

put your bars as low as you can maybe hit them down if you have to then tighten your clamp a little bit then push it all the way down as far as possible then tighten it all up and you should be good.
