dont hammer it out, cuz then your wheel will rub against the fork.

well inside spacers are inside of the bearings they allow you to tighten the axel as much as you want, and outside spacers do the wheel/bearings separation from the fork, so you want to have spacers inside and outside the bearings so your bearing works as good as they can.

yea, but I guess it was worth it, it has such a solid feel to it, but its so light it almost made my scoot unbalanced in weight, the back was heavier than the front lmfaooo...i just put on my new half knuck and it was ok...i didnt get a chance to ride it, ill have to wait till next sunday when i go to the skatepark, since its raining alllll this week =[

Haha, I feel so bad when little kids at my local get new parts but one of their parents or them fuck it up trying to install it. Provides the lolz however.

it looks strong but heavy
Read what has been said countless times in this thread, and elsewhere about these forks. They weigh pretty much NO MORE than an un-reinforced stock fork, and are much, MUCH stronger. Plus you kids need to realize that heavier scooters are far superior anyways. Not only are they 99% of the time much more solid, they just feel better to ride.

yeah light scoots suck, like ultra pro's, i hate those little things.
just so you guys know, a Quebec fork wheighs 13oz (380g). A stock pro fork wheighs 12oz.
So that's really light as a comparision to the extra strength it provides.
Also for the bearing spacers, like said earlier, DONT hammer them out. file them down. I'm sorry for the trouble, again this is all going to be corrected for the next forks shipped out. Anyway, I think that after that, the performance of the fork speaks for itself
Keep posting your impressions on the fork!
If you got any more questions, just post here or send me an email: qcscooters@gmail.com
I also have some pretty interesting ideas for a cheap compression system for whoever got SCS or HIC compatible forks:
What you need is a bmx seatpost clamp, some old broken bars, a headset cap and a headset compression bolt (ask around tons of people have some old ones from headsets they've bought but have never used.)
1st, cut off a piece of the steertube of the old bars that is about 2" longer than the length of the forktube that is sticking out when the fork is through the headtube.
2nd, put the seatpost clamp over the fork down to where it presses onto the headset (make sure it is untightened.)
3rd, put your steertube piece youve just cut over the fork and slide it down until it presses on the clamp.
4th, put your compression cap (or a big washer) on top of the tube.
5th, put your compression bolt down the hole and screw it into the built-in starnut at the top of the forktube of your QCS fork. when your headset is compressed enough, tighten very hard the clamp that is pressing onto your headset. this will ensure that your fork stays compressed.
and then BAM! cheap homemade compression
cheap and simple way to compress your headset. I'll make a text and video tutorial explaining that soon. If you got any more questions just ask me!
