Proto Senior Problems

[D33LON]

So i got a proto senior fork for Christmas and it has been absolutely horrible. It may look great and be strong but there are some major problems. Firstly, my brand new john reyes sig sliders barely fit between the legs. secondly, i spent an hour trying to get the crown race on constantly smashing it with a pole and hammer, yet it would not fit. another problem is that i was not informed that the senior fork isn't compatible with district v2s because the fork legs touch the headtube making it impossible to barspin/tailwhip. lastly my front axle was kinda hard to get into the legs. and now i have given up on the fork so i went to take the axle out but it is stuck. i have been hammering away at it for at least 30 mins and i broke a screw driver trying to pry it out. I am contemplating cutting off one of the fork legs just to be able to ride my brand new parts. I do not recommend this fork.

i want your fork!! i had same problem with my striker two years ago lol its just needs a little file and patiants and it sucks that you cant fit your deck

You don't need to beat the shit out of your crown race tryna put it on, you can just position it then tighten your compression system and it'll push it right on. And there must be somethin up with your headset because the crown race should be flush with the bottom of the headset cups so that there's no rubbing of the fork.

^^^ that will break your headset if your not careful

All the problems besides not being compatible with districts are not even issues, is anything good, because it holds your stuff tight, my strikers were the same way, it's just paint in the hole, just file it out a bit.
