HIC with Threaded Forks?

[Blake]

Is it possible, im in need of some new bars but in the future im looking to moving to threadless, but i dont wanna have to buy two different sets of bars or scs.

So im currently wondering if it is possible to use HIC on threaded forks?

 

[matr!]

yes, it should work. You might need to waste a starnut though cause the shim might not stay in place without the compression cap.

 

[Blake]

why would i need a starnut? If i maybe had a rad hic shim, the one with a lip on it, i think it would stay in place.

 

[matr!]

Yeah but would your clamp be super powerful enough to clamp to a shim and the fork? Cause even if you got one with the lip, the bars are only going to clamp to the shim, and the shim will more than likely rotate around the fork tube anyways. Idk, see what someone else says

u need a starnut you'll mess up you bars and shim u have to use it correctly

 

[parrish]

yea it should work and use the top cap and and starnut and bolt and everything so you don't need a locknut

 

[michaelpytel]

it will work, it will be just like putting bars on top of threadles forks it works jut makes marks inside of it, and you NEED the starnut and the compression cap+ bolt, thats what compresses it, without it you might as well have no compression at all. and rad HIC shims work the same as any other shim just more conveniently.

so this will work with everything threadless including the heaset?

 

[matr!]

yes, You'll jest need a bigger clamp

 

[mason buckley]

it sounds like it will work but it might make your shim have threads cause thats what happens to bars

 

[Billie Rainbow]

it works with any clamp but if you have a shim with no lip jut leave enough of it out so you can pull it out again

it sounds like it will work but it might make your shim have threads cause thats what happens to bars

if anything the engraved threads will be a good thing for the future for grip on the fork. just my 2 cents

it works fine, just install a starnut in the threaded fork. i've done it.
