Hi guys!

I am goinng to be using HIC compression when i get my new threadless forks ect, b8ut i have a few questions.

With the HIC shim, because the fortube will be longer on the MGP's, would i need a longer shim too, or would a normal size shim work? Im thinking i would need a bigger (longer) shim.

If so, where do i get a longer one from?

Thanks.

That^ if you have old/bent/dead one pieces lying around cut the downtube and make ya own HIC shim.
 
Yeah i had to make a longer one for mine, but it's totally worth it, because it re-enforces your bars, because there longer and what not.

Thanks.

you need a shim that's an inch longer than the regular one, which is i think two inches. you'll need a three inch shim. you can use old bars, or contact TSI or another company to possibly make and sell you one.
