Would this work?/New Compression idea?

It's like a Mini HIC, I would use it with standard bars, kinda linke blunt IHC, I am going to sand down the thread on a rup fork and see how it goes. Here is a picture:

good idea

Blunt did it properly with the thickness of tube, your idea would be extremely weak, sorry

Oh yeah. Didn't think of that.

work at the dessighn to strethen it it looks good but make it stronger

Well a way to make it stronger is jam another tube/weld some more metal onto the inside. Jamming a small tube in there to a snug fit seems the easiest though.

That WOULD work if you had a small enough starnut

DONG! You've got it, just get a snugly fitting piece of metal tube, and a starnut to match then you've got yourself a mini HIC!
Way to be innovative dude, thats what the community needs!

Haha you can't sand the fork down to 1 inch... not to mention, how would it even be straight. The walls are like less than 1/8" thick, and the forktube is 1-1/8"... You wouldn't have any fork to sand down lol.

That still wouldn't work, the shim needs to be just like the Blunt shim. It would have to go down below the top headset cap, and the forktube would have to go down below there too. If not, the shim wouldn't hold anything in place, because it's smaller than the crown race and top cap.

Interesting, never thought of that ^^
