RAD H.I.C. Shim.

[MaxAmillion]

So I wanna get a RAD H.I.C. Shim but I don't have RAD bars. does anyone know where I could get one or if I could by one from someone

 

[ConnorD]

not sure, but you can just cut any 1 1/4" tubing

^yea my friend cut the bottom of some Rup bars off for an HIC shim and it works fine for him

 

[MaxAmillion]

no i want the new rad shim because its tappered on the bottom so it cant get stuck in ur bars

 

[parrish]

it wont get stuck in your bars...

 

[Jon.]

You dumbass. How would it get stuck in your bars? it's screwed into the fork from the compression cap with the screw in the starnut.

 

[MaxAmillion]

well thats what i was thinking but everyone has told me like "lucky shims get stuck in ur bars"

 

[ConnorD]

well then everyones retarded. they clearrly dont know how to install HIC

 

[cody]

Lol the only thing that can get stuck in your lucky bars when you have hic.. is if you twist your bars off and the top cap gets stuck in there i did that once but you just have to reef them straight off and then you will have no problems.

my hic crows came like that a while back, and the shim was stuck inside. i couldnt get the shim out so i was forced into scs. it was sad

Bump, no need for a new thread.


So recently I got HIC crows and I got everything set up and its dialed, but the bars won't stay aligned with the fork & wheel. Like I adjust it (I never turn the bars left because that loosens the HIC), and I tighten the clamp until Its ridiculously tight, but it still doesnt stay aligned. I have a district double clamp with razor pro clamp bolts, Rad HIC bars and shim, and odessey integrated headset.
Also I've tried taping the shim, but for some reason I dont know if I'm taping it where it needs tape. Sounds stupid but its a possibility.
Help.

i had a problem sorta like this back when i ran threaded. over time, the outer diameter of my bars got smaller, if only by a fraction of an inch. i had a half knuck, and no matter how much i tightened it my bars would move. so i cut a soda can, and made a shim to put between my clamp and my bars. try that

Pretty sure Taylor Davis has one

well theyre brand new crows, had them for about a week now hahah but ill try it

 

[Andrew Young]

well in that case try putting a shim between the hic shim and your bars

 

[ConnorD]

that might work, or make it slip even more. Unless the metal used for pop cans is softer than the one used for the shim, then it might work. I'll try both next time i get a can of coke hahah
