HIC problem. again.

[William Juniper]

Alright guys. Recently you guys told me to get a headset spacer because my HIC shim was to small and my forktube was too long. It helped a lot and made things dialed...


Problem: My forks keep moving and my wheels and bars come out of alignment even when my HIC is tight as it can go.
Some of my friends tell me I just need to break in my HIC.
Is this right because im tired of shit going crooked.

Do your bars have factory slits or did you(or a local shop) cut then?

Thats not the HIC that is your clamp not being tight enough. and clamps will get stretched overtime and will clamp better.

Make sure you have a slit in your shim, and a slit thats wide enough on your bars.

 

[William Juniper]

I have Rad crows oversized. and a slit in my shim. and the clamp is tight af

[colemanhebert]

What shim are you using? Does it have a slit of its own?

[Jack Cronin]

Perfectly straight cut.

 

[colemanhebert]

Which clamp? Because the only other possible problem would be the clamps not tight enough...

 

[William Juniper]

Pro comp sz clamp.

 

[William Juniper]

sorry for double post. but its reallllyy tight.

I saw it in the pic from last night, you need to cut the slit the rest of the way through the shim, and your problem will be solved

How exactly do I do that, and thanks.

This is false and will give you even bigger problems.

 

[William Juniper]

Then wtf am I supposed to do.

 

[colemanhebert]

Hmm, are you putting the side without the slit cut through on the bottom or top on the fork?

 

[William Juniper]

Bottom.

BOOM. There is your problem. Turn the damn thing around and go ride your scooter man.
