How to Check If My Parts Are CompatibleUpdated 19 hours ago

Not sure if your bars fit your fork? Or if your clamp matches your compression system? We’ve got your back — here’s how to check compatibility like a pro 🧠🔧


🔩 1. Check Your Compression Type

Scooters use one of several compression systems. Each system works with specific parts:

  • IHC – Standard bars + IHC fork

  • HIC – Oversized bars + HIC fork

  • SCS – No slit bars (standard or oversized) + SCS clamp

  • ICS / ICS10 – Requires a starnut inside the bar

  • Mini HIC – Similar to IHC but with slight sizing variations

💡 Use our Compression Guide for detailed breakdowns on each type.


📏 2. Match Your Clamp Size

Clamps come in two main inner diameters:

  • Standard (31.8 mm) — for standard bars

  • Oversized (34.9 mm) — for oversized bars
    SCS clamps usually include shims to adapt between the two sizes.


🛠️ 3. Fork + Bar Compatibility

Some forks only fit certain bar sizes depending on your compression type. Check for:

  • Bar inner diameter (most important!)

  • Whether your bar has a slit or not

  • Fork compatibility with IHC, HIC, SCS, etc.


🛞 4. Wheels, Bearings & Axles

  • Most scooters use 110 mm or 120 mm wheels, but check your fork and deck clearance

  • Axle size is commonly 8 mm — some forks require specific axle setups

  • Make sure your bearings fit both the wheel core and the fork
