[scootbaseball]

No like at the bottom when I go to put my compression bolt in it just goes right through.

what?

 

[molewood4]

i thought yoyu meant the bolt wasnt long enough, sozzers

 

[scootbaseball]

I know where to cut it down because the fork tube is too long.
But at the bottom the compression bolt just goes right through what do I do I've never had threadless forks.

 

[JonnyJonDogg]

use a washer

 

[scootbaseball]

It came with a small washer, do I need a larger one?

 

[Stevenson]

you use a large washer

 

[scootbaseball]

Alright, thanks guys.
Sorry I've never ran threadless forks.
And about how many inches do I cut off of the fork tube?

 

[Stevenson]

pretty sure you don't need to cut it if your using inverted compression

 

[scootbaseball]

The compression bolt barley reaches the end of the fork tube though.

 

[Stevenson]

k well cut it then. idk how much

 

[Chris Harris]

just use a large washer and DO NOT cut down the fork tube

just use a large washer and DO NOT cut down the fork tube

 

[JonnyJonDogg]

if ur using inverted compression there is no need at all to cut your fork down

 

[scootbaseball]

i'll post a picture of my forktube tonight and you'll see my problem.

you cant run an inward compression bolt on a french ID fork.

you need a "french SR" compression system. you gotta get a bolt from the SR store, and the french ID compression system. use the little cone-like cap piece from the French ID kit, and the bolt from the SR store, and it works fine. that's what im doing. i dont trust the french ID compression system.

or alternately, cut the fork a little bit and use Brass Knuckles.
