Why buy Stunt Scooter Forks?
Threaded forks are older and used on entry‑level scooters. HIC and IHC forks use shims for compression systems, while SCS forks have a solid steerer tube designed for SCS clamps. Some forks are “integrated,” meaning they include an integrated crown race for easier assembly.
Which materials are used?
Aluminium forks offer a good balance of weight and strength, ideal for park riders. Steel forks are heavier but more durable for street riding. Titanium forks exist but are rare due to cost.
Do forks fit all wheels?
No. Ensure your fork supports your wheel’s diameter and width. Standard forks fit 100–110 mm wheels, while wide forks accommodate 115–125 mm wheels. Check the axle size and deck clearance.
How do I install a fork?
Press the headset bearings into the deck, slide the fork through the headtube, install the shim or compression system and attach the bars. Tighten compression bolts evenly for smooth rotation.
What is a crown race?
A crown race sits at the base of the fork and provides a smooth surface for the bearing. Many forks have an integrated crown race; otherwise, you need to install a separate race.
Can I use a HIC fork with IHC?
No. They’re different diameters. HIC forks have thicker steerer tubes for oversize bars, while IHC forks use smaller tubes for standard bars. Choose the fork that matches your compression system.
How do I maintain a fork?
Keep the headset clean and lubricated, inspect the steerer tube for cracks or dents and ensure axle bolts are tight. Replace the fork if it bends or shows stress cracks.
Do forks affect trick performance?
Lighter forks improve manoeuvrability for park tricks. Stronger forks provide confidence for heavy street landings. Choose based on your riding style and personal preferences.
