full core = waste of time to make
but ya, they should make baby scs with a shim, and hic bars..

Are you retarded? Baby SCS with a shim makes no sense unless you're riding stupidly thin bars which no one makes?

I don't even think the tubing could be that much more expensive. And I know the whole "slit = weak spot blah blah tomk faceplant" argument, but ~30/5 people would prefer to faceplant their HIC bars instead of buying normal sized bars. That's 6 people buying HIC slaYers to every 1 buying SCS/normal bars.
HIC isn't as good as SCS in eliminating stress points, but having it as an available option is always good for the consumer base!

full core would be cheaper b/c they wouldent have to machine the whole core out

full cores would probably be more popular than hic slayers haha but y dont they make baby scs just a LITTLE bigger round, and have a shim?! itd be so sick.
The full size SCS is better, it fits everything and requires no cutting of forks.
Steadman, I realize that the SCS is the best hands down compression, seeing as it eliminates slits and what not, however, HIC is the current trend, there would be no harm in making a small batch of HIC slaYers to see if they sell, and possibly releasing more if they sell well enough. I'm just sayin'.
I see jordan jasa lurking on this, chime in whenever ya want to dood!

It would take a bit of an effort to make them though. Slayers would have to have a good bit of changes made to accommodate a bigger steerer and we'd have to get the bigger tubing as well. In just not in the cards right now. Maybe once things settle down and Andrew can mess around with different ideas, but not now when we can't even keep the shelves close to stocked.

but, what is the downside of using a baby scs, or a pheonix scs compared to a HIC?

Costs more, in essence SCS + bars can run you up to $150 alone. Bars + clamp eliminates ~30-50 bucks depending on what you buy.
For instance, the bars and clamp i'm running totalled $80 all together, but for example phoenix suicides + baby scs = ~$155 ?
With HIC the compression is normally included with the bars as well. and if not lucky and a few others sell HIC kits for cheap
