Pro Scooter Clamps
Understanding the Role of a Scooter Clamp
A pro scooter clamp secures the bar to the fork of your scooter. When you tighten it, the clamp ensures that the fork and the bar remain stable as you ride.
Clamps are available in various sizes, reflected by the number of bolts they incorporate: single, double, triple, and quad. It's unusual to find single clamps for trick scooters. Always confirm that you select the correct clamp size with the appropriate diameter to guarantee compatibility. Typically, the specifications or manual will guide you on the correct clamp size to choose.
Choosing Between Standard and Oversized Clamps
You can find clamps in standard and oversized styles, which are characterised by their internal diameter. Standard clamps have an internal diameter of 32 mm, fitting standard bars. Meanwhile, oversized scooter clamps, with an internal diameter of 35 mm, fit oversized bars. Some oversized clamps can be used to fit standard bars by employing an internal shim.
Explaining SCS Clamps
SCS (standard compression system) clamps come with an integrated compression mechanism, serving both as a clamp and a compression system. They are available in triple and quad sizes and are celebrated for their ease of maintenance and their reliable connection between the fork and the bar. When using SCS clamps, you cannot utilise a bar with a slit unless you have an adapter. This system not only reduces the likelihood of the bar snapping but also allows height adjustments without the need to cut the slit.
