How to Install HIC Compression

HIC stands for Hidden Integrated Compression. In this video, our scooter expert, Jonas, demonstrates the correct method to install HIC compression.

Step One: Setting up Your Fork and Headset

• Begin by sliding the initial bearing onto the fork
• Insert the fork into the head tube of your deck
• Position the additional bearing into the upper bearing cup
• Secure the C-ring within the headset
• Place the headset top cap on

Step Two: Setting up HIC Scooter Compression

• Position the shim atop the fork
• Next, take your HIC top cap and screw it on
• Ensure it is snug and secure. Good job!

Grease: When assembling metal components, applying grease can greatly simplify the task and extend the durability of your parts. While installing HIC compression, consider applying a small amount of grease to the two bearing cups as well as to the threads of your HIC top cap.
