fork and bars turning?

[alec logan]

So im running HIC with mgp shim, mgp deck, lucky smx, MGP HIC clamp,and lucky PRY bars.

When i tighten down my headset, then put my bars on, and tighten the clamp as tight as it goes, after riding for about...3 minutes, my fork and bars start getting crooked. and i can turn my fork with my hand...any idea what wrong?

Take a picture of the slit and the clamp

Iridebrakeless, yeah its the nitro clamp.

and okay rob gimme a sec.

 

[iridebrakeless]

its most likely because the slits in your bars are not high enough for the clamp so the clamp has almost no clamping power, you just need the slit to be the same height about as the clamp and it will be ok

[Drew Kelly]

you need the slit higher up above the clamp.

 

[Mikey G]

you need the slit higher up above the clamp.

Bam!

 

[alec logan]

OHH.

Alright guys thanks, i'll try cutting the slit a inch or two higher and see the results.

good luck, but dont cut it too high, easy way to snap your bars
