got a slit and riding scs

[zach poon]

so i recently got a pair of rewinds from a friend but they have a slit; bars are perfect height in my scs with a slit so i put a hic shim in my bars and am riding it in scs you guys think im good

get an old fork and cut a couple inches off it and stick it up the bars then it'll be all good dude

theres an hic shim up there i should be good

the shim has to be solid with no slit itself otherwise whats it tightening against? No good shim doesn't have a slit so I'm gonna assume it has. put a forktube up inside the shim than you are fine

I cut the slit to the point where its not coming out of my scs

not making much sense. what brand shim?
All i can say is you must have a solid something in there other wise you are clamping to nothing and your clamp will fuck up

So it has a slit that goes up most of the way. You must have a forktube longer than the slit to work and the shim should ideally be bigger than the top 1/2 or the scs so it also reinforces the bars at the weak point in bars but if used with wrong fork may make the fork (light alloy) the weak point.

lol using a shim that has a slit in it itself defeats the purpose zach

Find some old standard size bars and cut a 3"-4" piece off and use that

 

[zach poon]

Yeah i stopped using them; and used my old rewinds and just used a bunch of headset spacers like my fork only goes to half way to the second scs bolt

well if an hic shim fits in the bars then im assuming theyre oversized...
a forktube is too small and like tyler said you need standard bar

 

[Billie Rainbow]

i was aware they were oversized, i said put forktube in shim meaning the hic shim

 

[zach poon]

i was aware they were oversized, i said put forktube in shim meaning the hic shim[/quote/]this is all kinda retarded ill just cut the slit off completely and get them tapered lol
And i did search for the same topic; there is a thread but it didnt really touch base on oversized bars

 

[Billie Rainbow]

lol arrow looking thing was to point to tylers comment after mine

oversized - put hic shim inside the bars then a fork inside the hic shim
standard - put an old fortube in

 

[emil_rides_street]

just put in an old standerd sized bar or a tube!
Worked just fine for me!
