HIC with threaded fork?

[Justin Vogelsberger]

would this work???
i dont see why not but i had to make suree


(i think this is the 100th thread in this category btw lol)

you don't need ics hic or scs if you have a threaded fork. It is completely usless.

 

[Justin Vogelsberger]

i meant with a thread less head set as well

 

[Darren Westby]

why buy all that if your going to use a threaded fork though? the system is designed for threadless

 

[Justin Vogelsberger]

i know but i have a ultra pro fork and i got a cane creek s 1 for 12 bucks and wanna use it until i can get threadless forks

 

[Zaηe]

You can use your can creek s-1 with threaded forks.

You cant just use HIC with normal bars anyway, you need over sized bars (1 3/8)

 

[Justin Vogelsberger]

i know but im ordering rad ogs soon with hic so i was just wondering if i could use it until i get threadless forks

 

[Darren Westby]

just ride the bars with the shim in them and threaded compression until you get the fork

 

[greg m]

yea itll work.
i did it for a while.

 

[Rob.]

i'd order rad og's and a new fork then
or just ride stock handlebars until you can get the forks.

 

[J SWEETS]

i dont think the rads will be in stock anytime soon.. hah

 

[Mitch H.]

yea itll work.
i did it for a while.

But i just tried like five minutes ago and it wont work, i have raderalls and a ultra pro fork and district c4 clamp and it wont clamp down tite enough? Do i need a starnut?

umm are you using the shim that came with the district clamp? cuzz the district clamp without its shim is for 1 3/8 bars.

HIC REQUIRES AN OVERSIZED CLAMP/or stretched regular clamps. (I think Mitch has oversized/hic bars...). Using the shim would be impossible with OVERSIZED bars...
Mitch, you need a starnut in the forks to screw the bolt into, don't you people research things you buy BEFORE you buy them?

Back to topic:

Why use HIC on forks that don't need it? You can order ANY 1-1/4th bars, save some money and just rock the threaded top nut. Simpler AND cost effective.

If you see "compression" it almost always deals with Threadless. If you're rocking threaded, then steer away from compression, as you do not need it.

Ok thanx and sorry im just a little confused on the hole HIC thing becuase i didnt plan to get them, my old bars snaped so i just got them for a good price of my buddy. And no i am not using the shim.

 

[Rob.]

gotcha, but definitely look into getting a threadless fork to use the bars for their real purpose.

buying hic bars before going threadless may be a good idea tho, that way u have compression as soon as u have a threadless fork

or buy them at the same time?
