1. ThreadLESS fork.
2. Any compression system.SCS, ICS, HIC(need rad bars for HIC)
3. And there are many videos on how to install all those.

a compression system allows you to use threadless forks and headsets.

^^ yea. I forgot. To run threadless u need a threadless headset aswell.

If you don't know why you need it, or what it's for, don't get it.
I mean no offense.

that helps ^^ just stay with stock, you will gradually understand it and when you progress you will choose which one would fit you best

I would suggest sticking to threaded until you get better/break the threaded fork

wrong. you can still use a stock headset on a threadless fork

how so?

 

[Michael Rankin]

all you have to do is get a spare bearing race and a compression ring. im running a stock headset on my threadless sr fork

SCS is the best compression with the huge proto brass knuckle clamp

ICS is a long bolt going in at the bottom of your forks and screwing into a starnut in your bars

HIC is a shim over your forks and a cap and a bolt that screws into a star nut in your forks but if you dont have oversized bars dont bother

o. But would a bike shop sell you just a compression ring?

 

[Michael Rankin]

probably. or if you are lucky, they may just have one lying around and give it to you for free

O ok. I already have an FSA. I was just wondering. thanks.
