pind fid forks

[rocky ventura]

do you need it pined to ride a scs? i herd they will just snap off the fork tube if you dont have them pined is this true?

 

[humpurple kushiones]

Well they snap off regardless or the compression. Not all the time, but some do. so yea pin it anyway unless you are a smooth rider.

^^ Like he said, should pin it no matter what compression your using, SCS, ICS. The forks are CNC'd together (correct?), and the bond (glue), would break the legs off the fork tube. Best be safe to pin it.

I believe that they are two CNC'd pieces that are glued together, and the glue hasn't been doing so well lately. So no matter what, pin it. Even if you're "smooth".

 

[Shaun Walton]

Yeah, if your the smoothest rider, the bonding can still break and seperates.

 

[rocky ventura]

well how do you pin them? if theres no hole just drill one?

 

[alex Dorantes]

even if you pin them i think they still go bad.
i had mine welded and then i got them heat treated and they haven't failed me at all.
but i don't think that an ics would work for it, i have a scs and it works really good.

Thinking about pinning mine after all the stuff I've been hearing. I got mine when they first came out. I have a bag of hardened steel roll pins. Might throw like 4 in there just in case.

Even if yours comes apart before you pin it you can just put it back together and pin it. That happened to Jon, his just about came completely apart so I hit it back together, pinned it, and now it's good.

ive seen some one drill a hole, tap it, and put a small bolt in it. thats another option you could consider

 

[CTRider]

It's flared at the bottom of the fork tube I believe so what does it do, just get real wobbly? Or does it snap clean off?

 

[Michael Rankin]

it doesnt snap off, it just gradually pulls apart
