OLD SR FORKS FTW!
But soon to be running a FSC fork again.
I use to do that now i'm running hic, so much better.
That clamp slips over time though.

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!

Well depends on what your needs are. If you dont care about a fork being heavier but like the look of it go get it. But if you want something simple to install, strong and that has no wheight difference with stock fork, then Quebec forks are what you need
my clamp hasnt slipped until now... I'll have to do more tests though.

nah i just used gimp and traced out the forks and changed the color contrast, i could made it better by not changign the color of the axel but i didnt care ahha it was just a general idea

the forks are nice, but im kinda dissapointed with the new pegs, I put them on and went out to ride, when I came back the front axle was bent and the peg was crooked, and it was loose..idk if im the only one with this problem, but I'm not that concerned cuz they were free anyway ;]

I tightened it a lottttt, my wheel was spinning perfectly and it wasnt loose..I waxed up some marble steps and started grinding on the pegs, and i come back and notice its loose
