HELP! bars keep coming loose

[Cal S]

Okay so I have Buffs bars, stock fork, and district clamp, everytime i line up my bars and tighten my clamp as tight as I can the bars come out of line within 10 minutes, i tried making a soda can shim for my fork and i already have a shim on my bars so the clamp isnt wobbleing... what do i do?

 

[Matthew Griffiths]

make sure there is a slit in the bars, and that it comes up just a little higher than the clamp you are using. you can make slits by using a hacksaw.

Try a diff clamp

Electric tape. My friend had the same problem.

 

[BYRDO444]

awesome, so he like wrapped electric tape around the fork threads, then slid it over those and clamped it down??

The District clamps are oversized arent they?

Well, atleast some are.

 

[JoshNunez]

Yeah, all of them are, they come with a shim though, right. Put the original shim on the bars and tighten them.
