proto scs problem

[Connzi machell]

Nope, so I need to cut it?
But still, would this effect how easily it slides on and off the fork?

my youtube fucking hates me, videos not uploading :[

 

[parrish]

you might need to use headset spacers

 

[Connzi machell]

tried taking it apart and re doing it up with 1 to 4 headset spacers, just makes the lip further away... ? and still it didn't tighten the headset, or the SCS. So thats not my problem, I don't think.

 

[R-Dubya]

I'm starting to think SCS just isn't your thing.

 

[Connzi machell]

^LMFAO agreed!!
I've put together a couple Apex SCS's at ramp attak tho, was a breeze.

 

[Kroto]

is it faulty? if it is send it back (cbf reading this thread)

 

[james blott]

GEt the Apex next time or proto

Id get apex

 

[Connzi machell]

is it faulty? if it is send it back (cbf reading this thread)

I don't even know. :'[
And james, apex scs look sooooo nice, and they're alot lighter apparently. so maybe i will, i don't knowwww.

 

[Kroto]

Take it to where you bought it or contact proto and see if you can get a replacement

 

[parrish]

is your starnut in far enough?

 

[Connzi machell]

It's a threaded insert. I'm using a ZG fork so its like an inbuilt starnut right at the top.

pic of what i mean by the top cap not making connection with the fork tube. It's tightened all the way, by the way.

 

[R-Dubya]

Oh, that. No, that isn't supposed to make contact with the fork tube. If it did, it wouldn't be compressing the headset. I thought you meant the top seal. Yeah, that SCS is FUBAR. Just go HIC.

 

[Connzi machell]

YESSSSSSS CLOSEEE EEETTT!!!!
Rode down to my friends house and he gave me the proto star that came with his SCS. Magically, IT WORKED!!!!!!! Fucken topcap!!!!!
THANKS GUYS!!!

 

[R-Dubya]

OHHHHH. That does make sense. If it was a brand new top cap, it probably was keeping the SCS from tightening all the way. Don't use the proto star top cap, it will bend immediately. Trust me, it will bend. Just sand down the top cap you were using.

 

[ConnorD]

Depending on what top cap you have, it might be shaped in a way that would make it actually touch the top of the fork. But just for future reference, never cut down a ZG fork. You will mess up the integrated threads and then you would have no fork to use.
What top cap is it btw?

 

[Jb12199]

probably an animal by looking at his headset

 

[Connzi machell]

JBs got it, was a brand new Animal topcap.
Yeah Ronny, I'll sand it down tonight. Won't ride it today tho
