What compression have people been using for their french id forks?

[dgib]

because im ordering 1 tonight and i dont want to spend 65 for brass nuckles or at least not yet, so jw wut others r useing other then the knuckles.

 

[ryankeong]

inverted or scs both work

 

[dgib]

so do u need anything extra other then a star nut and bolt? cause the french id kit had that sort of washer i was guessing for the commpression bolt, and i thought c4 carried that kit??

 

[Hep Greg]

the french ID compression system sucks, but if you wanna run an inverted system on it, you need Andrew's bolt with the cap from the french ID one.

 

[Steezeman]

You could probably rig your own compression cap with some washers.

 

[Hep Greg]

no, the bolt would stick out and hit the wheel if you're riding 110. the cap make the bolt sit inside it, flush with the level of the cap.

 

[dgib]

yea thats wut i was woundering cause i am runnin 110s.. but u kno the head cap that comes with threadless headsets? do u think that that could work as that cap for the compression bolt?

 

[demo]

get the scs. or if you have access to a welder and a press and a lathe. do this

order a piece oh chromoly. any thick ness just a bit bigger the the ID of the fork tube. lathe it down to fit in the fork. then weld a plate with a whole at the bottom of the chromoly. cut it to the same size as the fork tube, notch the bottom end [to go with the curve of the forks and the bottom]. lathe the OD of the chromoly down to the ID of the fork tube. then carefully press it in there. now it will work witht sr inverted comp. system. and you have reinfoced frID forks.

Ah. Get a hold of a compression cap for a 1" threadless fork and see if that works. I would see myself but I don't have a FrenchID fork.

^^^ lol ur kidding right it would be easier and probably cheaper to buy an scs or frenchid comp system

 

[dgib]

well its sounding like the french id system would just b the easyest since it has that main important piece haha, but i couldnt fint it on c4?

 

[Chris Harris]

RAD compression if you have OS bars.... i just put it on my frid and it works great

 

[Jason]

Ghetto style it. Make your own.

 

[kyle199]

i got french id compression its easy to put on

 

[dgib]

yea i would have just bought it too if it was on c4 but the only site i can find it on is http://www.dissidencescootershop.com/
but its like $37 on there, and thats pretty expensive
