How to Install HIC Compression
HIC stands for Hidden Integrated Compression. In this video, our scooter expert, Jonas, demonstrates the correct installation of HIC compression.
First step: Installing your fork and headset
- Slide the first bearing onto the fork
- Insert the fork into the head tube of your deck
- Place the other bearing in the upper bearing cup
- Fit the C-ring into the headset
- Attach the headset top cap
Second step: Installing the HIC scooter compression
- Place the shim on top of the fork
- Screw on your HIC top cap
- Ensure it is nice and tight. Well done!
Grease: Applying grease when assembling metal parts can make the process easier and extend the lifespan of your parts. For HIC compression installation, consider adding a small amount of grease to the two bearing cups and the threading on your HIC top cap.
