fork unalining

[Piccadilly]

Hey, couldn't find anywhere to ask this so i made a thread...
I had a three bolt clamp but my fork still went out of line with my bars a bit whenever i tryed 180 whips, so i got a 4 bolt but it still moves. Anyone got any ideas?? Its as tight as it will go, but i don't want to over tighten it because im scared of ruining the threads in the bolt(which happens *alot* to me).

your clamp has nothing to do with how tight your wheel is

erm, no i mean my wheel becomes unaligned with my handlebars, so if my bars are straight my wheel is wonky so 'ill go off to the side??

It's not your clamp, it's probably your slit in your bars. My guess is that you don't have a slit, or it's not big enough

oh, yeah i hav 2 slits either side. I have razor black label bars if that means anything.
Should i try and cut them longer??

What type of compression?

 

[Piccadilly]

Just normal threaded, like what you get with a stock mgp.

Use this on the Bolts

doesn't have to be a Lucas Oil product

This allows the Steel Bolt to thread through the Alooominum clamp without binding and actually allow the Clamp to Clamp.

Okay, thanks. Should i also cut my slits larger?/

2" slits should work just fine-
