If they bend and break you can cut them down and get an SCS.

So what you're saying is that if a kid bends your bars at the slot, he has to pay another seventy five dollars to make his scooter rideable?

Doesn't sound right to me. Does it? I would rather just buy another pair of bars for that price.

Then play it smart, get an SCS. Why would you pay 75 bucks just to get the same exact pair of bars when you could have got a compression system quad clamp which is way better then any normal double clamp?

Alright seriously, get off your knees Byron.
I have ran Proto bars and compression system. Luckily, I got the SCS in a deal with Andrew because I bent his bars. A month later, the SCS seized.
I am going to have to say that RAD makes better bars and a more reliable compression system that takes all of one minute to retighten.

For the record, if I bent a pair of bars, I wouldn't buy the same ones. I am not cradling Proto's balls like this entire forum.

Sure, you might not like my opinion on the matter, but whatever.

Just thought I would give my thoughts on this whole "Proto is god" situation.

My scs seized and always came loose too, not saying its Andrews fault it was one of the very first ones.

I have rads with HIC, but i also bought a half knuckle double clamp, from Andrew at banks, i have to say without that HIC would suck.

And I would have to agree. HIC requires a decent clamp. Also It IS a good idea to get rid of clamps, but I really have never had many problems with steertubes bending. Short slots with a hole in the top dont really affect the tubing enough to worry about. IMO. Especially with a shim that goes deeper than the slots that actually reinforces it.

I really like SCS and HIC they are both perfect in their own ways. SCS for versatillity and HIC for cleanliness...

Oh I also wanted to say that I am surprised people have bent strikers. Those are without a doubt the best designed fork ever, especially since they are also so economical when compared to machined aluminum forks (take2,FrID).
Once Andrew heat treats them I doubt many will bend. Ever.

Even though I haven't had either personally I'd rather have a HIC rather than an SCS because you can use threaded fork, more convienient, it looks clean and its out of the way only real problem's are you gotta buy an aftermarket clamp for it to work to its full potential and you can switch bars to easily (RADS to Wee's ect.) IMO.
But with the I guess the SCS does the same job, looks fancy and adds a lil colour

Why would you use a compression system on a threaded fork?
