/PROTO Scooters

[Joe Riley]

a divider plate wouldnt make sense. then the clamp would be at the edge of the forktube, and the top clamp would hold the bars to nothing at all. also, it doesnt use a starnut/bolt-style compression.

 

[Aaron Huff]

I did a little investigating and I've got to say the new compression system looks amazing.

Good job Andrew thats pretty nice.

 

[DMazz]

omg im not scared to go threadless anymore andrew =D i love you hahaha looks sick too!!!

 

[humpurple kushiones]

dude andrew. that is one of the smartest things ive ever seen. that is like.. wow amazing.i seriously love this. genius.

 

[kolbycrouch]

wow andrew im sorry for doubting you man, can you explain how to use bigger bars and how to adjust height for me a little more, i still dont quite understand those, oh and does the bmx starnut fit into .120 wall forktubes? i will purchase this when i get the money man, im already selling my fork right now though because bars come first

 

[Joe Riley]

extremely smart, but why does it cost $65?

 

[Matt]

Isn't the part that most people hate about inverted compression the starnut? Because you still have to put it in

 

[Rob.]

i understand it now.
You have to shorten your bar height because your bars don't hit the fork anymore.. i think?

 

[jtom2343]

fuck shit ass damn thats insane

Yeaupp =]

Imma buy the brass knuckle compression and PROTO forks when they come out =]

 

[Rob.]

WAIT. Since the fork doesn't even go into the bars anymore, won't that make the bars more prone to snapping right above the clamp?

 

[Joe Riley]

it seems clever, but not very strong. nothing inside the bars, so couldnt they snap easier? wouldnt it snap easily above the clamp? you would need thicker bars.

 

[jtom2343]

if you get strong ass bars youll be fine

 

[kolbycrouch]

i dont know the bars seem to go deeper than i thought

 

[Matt]

Does anyone else thing this is more complicated than The other compression?
