question.

[johnnscoots]

i bought a new blunt aos deck today and i bought a headset. its a threadless, sealed one and i have a threaded fork nd a lock nut on the top. it wont spuin good, its a hard spin and it tightens when i tailwhip, whats rong

 

[BenJelinek]

Just find the perfect spot, don't tighten it all the way just so much that it doesn't wobble but still spins good

 

[Jon.]

Sealed headsets don't work well with threaded forks. You should get a threadless one.

 

[johnnscoots]

ok jon, i was thinking that, do i also neeedd compression if i do?

 

[Jon.]

Yes but it can be much more simple than you think. What bars do you have?

 

[johnnscoots]

i have practically the same bars as borderline ones if ur in aus, or if not just standard bars to fit pros and stuff with slits..

 

[Jon.]

Ok well you could get a threadless fork and use ICS but it's not very good. Your best bet would be getting a threadless fork and either hic bars or cut your bars/get standard bars and scs.

 

[johnnscoots]

yeh i mighht do just that because my headset atm sucks balls

 

[Jon.]

I'd recommend HIC.

 

[johnnscoots]

ok thankyou

 

[Jon.]

Seeing that you're in AUS I recommend you buy apex scs http://www.skaterhq.com.au/browse/details.asp?ProdID=140027
almost any bars of shq http://www.skaterhq.com.au/browse/browse.asp?DeptID=104&CatID=1174
and phoenix forks because they have an integrated starnut. http://www.skaterhq.com.au/browse/details.asp?ProdID=139811

These are really expensive on SHQ so if you need help finding cheaper stuff just ask me.

 

[johnnscoots]

will my bars fit still? my old ones? and i will have to get a new fork and a compression system so trhats like 160 and i dun wanna spend topo much. i might get this one :http://www.scooterhut.com.au/product_info.php?cPath=40&products_id=550 nd http://www.scooters-only.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=18&products_id=280

 

[Jon.]

EDIT: That would work^ but you can't use the district fork because it's made for ICS. You can use your bars if you cut 2 inches of the bottom where the slit is.





This is probably cheaper
Proto SCS: http://www.moonwalkscooters.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=PSCSQC

Lucky fork: http://www.moonwalkscooters.com/searchresults.asp?cat=155

and bars you just need to order a pair 2 inches shorter than you normally would without a slit.

 

[johnnscoots]

i jsut cut mine, would that work? and i think if i do get a fork for over like 80 bucks ill get a thom cat. and yeh that scs looks nice, andby wehat i hear its great, i cudnt find anywhere wth it tho in aus

 

[Jon.]

the thom cat is good but I don't know where you could get one in AUS. theyre on 60$ here.

http://www.moonwalkscooters.com/searchresults.asp?cat=170 these are slightly used and are very cheap and wouuld work well. You should get one of the strikers.

 

[johnnscoots]

theyre 85 over here. and nah i wanna go new. might as well have it last.

 

[johnnscoots]

btw will my bars work if i cut down 2 inches and the slit off?

 

[Jon.]

yes if you measure 2 inches up from the bottom of your bars and cut them so it has to slit they will be perfect.

EDIT: because proto scs makes your bars 2 inches higher and you cannot have a slit if you use scs.

 

[johnnscoots]

so it needs or doesnt need a slit.. sorry i didnt get what u said.

 

[Jon.]

You CANNOT have a slit if you are going to use scs
