district forks

[Josh Henderson]

do the newer district fk2 forks have a thicker forktube than the old ones because i cant seem to get a one inch starnut in

as far as i know all district forks are really hard to get a starnut in. they are meant for ICS not SCS or HIC. try putting the starnut through the bottom of the fork, apparently that works. if not, you could drill a bigger hole down the centre of the fork tube to make it larger. hope this helps!

Try a 1/8th starnut

^or that^


i just read somewhere that district forks have a built in top cap that can be cut off, it might not be true but might be worth a go?

yeah i just tried putting it in trough the bottom and i almost got it in and then it just got stuck and wont go any further at all. i guess im just going to have to drill it out and try again.

you could put a boilt under the top cap and onece its in place superglue it, then it'd work as a starnut.... sorta??

 

[Josh Henderson]

lolololololololololol too late already cut the topcap thing off
