ohhhh snapppppp rob just got his hic slayers technically

 

[heyhey]

whaaaaattt

 

[Jon.]

makes the fork weaker. liking the no need for oversized though

 

[dan1994]

Not necesserly weaker... The wall thinknesss could be the same

 

[lalailikescoot]

agreed

 

[Scott Trainer]

Good idea. But its kind of getting annoying how all these companies are making all of these "revolutionary" new compressions.
But I do like that this doesnt require oversized bars.

 

[heyhey]

that's a blunt headset right?I might get this for my next fork

dude how the hell would you know? you haven't even ridden them. you can't judge a book by the cover man.

 

[BrandonWeir]

Well, I probably wouldn't ride it.

 

[Mikey G]

Still say Big SCS all day. Standard or oversized bars <3

 

[Tony Ebbert]

In like the idea, but I wouldn't use it, what up with all these compressions now?were at like 6-7 legit compressions right now...I mean don't get me wrong that's a good thing, but they just keep getting more and more expensive!
-SCS(Standard Compression System)
-HIC(Hidden Internal Compression)
-ICS(Inverted Compression system)
-IHC(Integrated headset Compression)
-TLC(Thread Lock Compresson)
-Threaded
-SPC(Seat Post Compresson)
-Hella Dank SCS(Just straight up ghetto. xD)

 

[Noah.]

Integrated headset compression? Explain.

 

[Jon.]

I just meant it would most likely make the fork a lot weaker due to the fact that it is almost 1/5 thinner. not to mention blunt parts havent exactly been known to take a lot of damage.

 

[Bennett_J]

These forks have very thin walls based on what blunt said on their FB, but they have been Cold Treated or some shit

 

[CollinDonnelly95]

Its called integrated headset compression because the shim slides through your headset and works as your compression ring, then when you tighten it it pushes eveything together

 

[BrandonWeir]

Integrated headset compression? Explain.

Usually, a shim pushes down on the compression ring of a headset to compress the headset. With IHC, the compression ring is attached to the shim. So it's the same thing as HIC, just with an undersized fork and the shim is connected to the compression ring.

 

[tylerbillman]

^^^ Bingo.

 

[humpurple kushiones]

sooooooo much leverage.

 

[BrandonWeir]

^^^Yeahh. I just see this as an easier way to break a fork, and possibly damage your headset while you're at it.
