i think i know you from somewhere. try putting some electrical tape around the fork then clamping the bars on. or maybe get a compression system.

Wrap some tin foil around the threads maybe, and maybe you got the wrong ID.

no fuckin way man youd die and your bars would move an assload.

get a small metal sleeve and put it around your fork, just thick enough where its snug, then clamp

I would get a compression system.

 

[Kenny O.]

Theres no point in having a compression system if its a threaded fork.

Put a double clamp on.

If that doesn't work find someone with a hand grinder or dremel or saw and cut the slit in the bars up about another inch and and re clamp it and that should be enough pressure to clamp the fork.

You don't need any shims or sleeves or any of that crap.

THANKS SO WERE DO I GET THE METAL SLEEVE FROM?AND AM I THE ONLY ONE THIS HAPPENED TO?

 

[idk47]

Like andrew said, cut the slit higher.

 

[skiboy]

OK THANKS ANDREW BUT HOW DO I FILE DOWN A DOUBLE CLAMP SO IT FITS?

 

[team_punishment]

you dont need to file it just stretch it, thats what i did. and please dont type in caps it is annoying.

 

[skiboy]

ok thanks for the help iam sort of new at this so i need some help and so stretch a double clamp and cut he slit and i wont die lol?

 

[Mike Montgomery]

to stretch the clamp put the screws in backwards and put a penny to stop them from going all the way through. then tighten it so it fits around the bars, slide it on. then take the screws out and put them in the right way.

to cut the slit take a hacksaw or a dremel and just cut a straight cut throught the slits and make them longer up.
