Micro Threadless Fork

Hep Greg · Sep 13, 2006

Does anyone know if one of micros threadless forks will fit on a razor? I heard that they are stronger than threaded & I keep breaking my forks, even after reinforcing them.. and I don't have any extra forks left.

wtf micro makes threadless forks godamnit

i want one badly i been poppin forks mad lately

dont know if it would fit a razor

why is threadles better ?

dont have to do all the fukin turning.. to change fork

Eric said they were really strong
I havent tryed 1 but thye look pritty good

JAM3S · Sep 14, 2006

Yeah they look alrite, im pretty sure they would fit on a razor..no reason why it would'nt.

How would that even work? On a bike there's a compression bolt thing that tightens down the headset and then you tighten down the stem, but you can't really do that on a scooter.

i was thinking that

btw they are stronger because they do not have the weak spots that are in the ridges of a threaded

Dont wanna do all the turning with a razor fork? When your putting your bars on just push down real hard and you pushing the bars over all the threads. If your gonna cry about it weakening the fork, it dosn't, if your worried reinforce the fork.

on a bike headset theres a piece that keeps the headset compressed after it has been tightened (on fsa pig sealed it is the gold piece with the slit), just lightly tap it with a a hammer until it reaches the desired compression and there you go just put on the bars like normal

Steezeman · Sep 14, 2006

Oh yeah that's true, but it still would be a lot harder to "tune" than on a bike.

Eric Magray · Sep 14, 2006

yea unless you found a way to put on a compression bolt

I think this would be your best bet-

but when it would come out the top it would just tighten down on the fork, which wouldn't do anything.

that should go over bars...

Well what i've been thinking lately is to cut out just the forktube piece from a bmx (it's chromoly like rad bars), put it into rad bars (not much though because i would need a little space for bottom), and weld the forktube and rad bars (or any other steel bars) together.

Right, now we have a rad bars with a fork tube. This would go on your scooter from the top of the head.

Then i would need to make a C-piece for the fork, with a 1 1/8" hole in the middle, so it could go through the forktube which is welded to rad bars, so the fork C-piece itself isn't welded onto the forktube and it's been closed with a compression bolt at the bottom. For example, GT forks are made with inner threads, so the topbolt is pretty strong unlike the little bolt that alex just showed on his picture.

Then may come one problem - the fork should not be just a piece, it should have some clamps or work like a stem, but has a fork on it - that way it wouldn't spin so freely on the forktube even with the compression bolt.

So in the end, you would have:
rad (or any other steel) bars welded to a chromoly forktube;
a fork C-profile piece which should work like a stem, so it could be mounted on the forktube safely;
and a compression bolt, (i call it a topbolt, but in this case: a bottombolt).

And the C-piece should have enough room for the wheel too.

Did anybody understand what i just said?

Yes you can.

That is really ghetto and impossible to really get it tuned properly plus hammering bearings in the race will ruin them.

Good idea but WAY WAY too much work and it would be incredibly weak if I'm thinking of it right. If the bolt was the only thing holding the lower half of the forks on they would just snap off in a second.

Steezeman · Sep 16, 2006

Well the thing I posted, Madis, doesn't have to be strong, becauase it would just be to tighten down the headset until you put the bars on. That's why on bikes you don't need to have the compression bolt in all the time, it's not the best idea to take it out but you don't have to have it in once the stem is tightened down on the fork.

farmboy uk · Sep 16, 2006

i know what you mean

Hep Greg · Sep 17, 2006

well... if micro makes threadless forks without compression bolts, then why does it matter? you could just tighten the shit out of the clamps. does anyone know if the thing fits or not lol? is it the same size as a razor one?
