Compatible with:
There are several different types and designs for scooter forks. Therefore, it is imperative that you check if exactly the fork you want is also compatible with your scooter. There are certain factors that need to fit together in order for it to be possible to assemble it properly. One of these factors is the compression system. It must be compatible. Another is the wheel diameter, as there are some scooters that limit the fact that only certain sizes can be mounted.
Wheel diameter:
The wheel diameter depends on what you would like to use your scooter for. If you want a transport scooter, bigger wheels will make your driving experiences significantly better, as it will help against the many bumps that may be on the roads or trails. By contrast, smaller wheels will weigh less, thereby providing better options for tricks for those who would rather have a trick scooter. However, in relation to the fork, remember to be sure that both the wheels and the fork are compatible and fit with each other.
Wheel Bolt:
You need a wheel bolt to mount your front wheel on the front fork. If the wheel bolt is not included then this must be purchased separately.
Fork length:
The total length of the fork. Forks for scooters can come in a variety of lengths. The length of the fork depends on both your riding style, ie whether you want a scooter for transport or for tricks, and what you want most, as some would prefer shorter forks, while others would prefer a longer fork.
Fork design:
There are generally two different designs for forks. A one-piece and a two-piece, what this means is how many parts the fork consists of. The design matters most for how durable a fork is. However, the material also matters a lot for the durability of the fork. For example, if you have a one-piece designed fork made of aluminum or steel, you have a very high quality fork for scooters.
Fork type:
You can also divide the overall designs of forks, that is, one-piece design and two-piece design, into two additional groups. Namely, whether the fork is threaded or threaded. Here it is important to know that threaded forks can only be used for headsets that also have threads, and conversely, threaded forks can only be used with headsets that are also threaded.
Fork Material:
Most often the highest quality scooters are aluminum or steel, and likewise the fork is either one or the other material. For aluminum, it is a lighter but still strong and durable material. However, not as strong as steel, which also weighs a lot more because of its high durability. Trick scooters will generally always last longer if they have forks made of steel.
Fork Weight:
It is the material that plays the biggest role for is the quality and how heavy the fork is. An aluminum fork does not weigh as much as a steel fork, but it is also not as strong and durable. A steel scooter is especially suitable for tricks as it will be much better at performing various tricks and stunts.
Wheel hub width:
It is important that you know the width of your impeller wheels before ordering a new fork. The vast majority of impeller wheels have a 24 mm hub width, which fits forks with a 24 mm hub width as well.
Frame Spacer type:
Frame spacers ensure that the wheel is always centered on the front fork. Some impeller forks have welded washers mounted as frame spacers. This is the cheap solution but a solution that works. Most top models in forks have built-in frame spacers. This is the best solution as it is milled in one piece of metal together with the fork, so you get the highest precision.
C-Ring:
A c-ring is part of the headset on a scooter. This is used to keep the fork centered in the headset. Most headsets come with a c-ring.
Crown Race:
A crown race is located between the front fork and the base of the headset. This helps the fork to sit centered in the center of the headset. Some crown races are built into the forks. This is clearly the best since it is CNS milled together with the forks and therefore the highest precision is obtained.
Wheel offset:
Front forks, seen from a vertical center. Offset describes whether the wheel is located in the center line or in front of the center line. The vast majority of front forks are designed with a little offset, to increase directional stability. The advantage of Zero offset is that bar spins and nose manuals are made easier because the wheel is located in the center line of the front fork.
Axle Diameter:
Describes the diameter of the axle / bolt that will hold the wheel. The hole in the front fork of the shaft / bolt is intended for a specific diameter.
Compression System:
The item is delivered either with or without compression kit. The compression kit for HIC and IHC systems consists of either a HIC or IHC shim and bolt. The compression kit for SCS is part of the clamp, in which a bolt and washer compresses the clamp directly to the front fork.
Starnut:
The bolt from the compression putty is screwed into the star groove. A starnut is a kind of disc that has barbs in the edge and a thread in the middle. The term starter nut is used for all front forks with a thread in the top (because the built-in thread acts as a star nut, even though it is not actually a star nut).
Compressoinsbolt:
The bolt used for the compression system. Some forks have a special compression bolt that only fits that front fork. Therefore, it may be important that it is included.
