Other brands use a longer bolt which has the top cap built into the bottom of the fork just above the fork arms. The lightest option is the shorter bolt, but in order to tighten this bolt you need an 11" inch long allen key.
Some forks provide the allen key while others do not, which can make it incredibly difficult to find. To run ICS your bars must have a slit cut into them. Unfortunately, slits create a weak point in the bar. The ICS Compression System is compatible with steel standard sized bars and any aluminum bar since aluminum bars are standard inner diameter and oversized outer diameter.
Pros: Affordable and light weight. Cons: Difficult to work on, even more so with a shorter bolt due to needing a longer allen key. The starnut lacks strength. The slit can compromise bar strength. It involves the same concept as ICS Compression, while using a larger diameter bolt and larger corresponding threads on the starnut.
This design is only compatible with the Addict and Ethic ICS10 Forks due to the increased diameter of the compression bolt. The ICS10 Compression System features the shorter bolt design, so the 11" inch long allen key is a must if you want to maintain your compression system.
You still have to remove your front wheel to access the inverted compression bolt. ICS10 Compression tends to be much longer lasting than a normal ICS bolt and starnut thanks to the bigger diameter compression bolt. To run ICS10 you must have a slit cut into your bars which as you know, creates a weak point. Compatible with standard steel and any aluminum bars. Cons: Difficult to work on due to the need for a longer allen key.
The starnut, although bigger can still break. Your front end tends to come loose quicker than most compression systems but is better than ICS. The HIC compression system lead the industry for quite a few years. A lot of riders toted it was the lightest, most affordable compression system you could buy.
Some brands manufacture their shims to have an integrated topcap, allowing for less components and an easier installation. You can also use an ICS fork with a little modifying by cutting off the forks ICS topcap and installing the starnut, but as you know, starnuts are not the strongest.
HIC Compression is only compatible with steel oversized diameter bars. No aluminum bars will work. The shim slides over the fork and tightening the compression bolt pushes the shim down onto your headset.
The advantages of the HIC Compression System is that it is affordable, and tends to stay tighter for longer than most compression systems. The weight is also average, but when you compare price to the strength and reliability, it's a very good buy. The one inconvenience is that you need to have a slit cut into the bars, which like ICS and ICS10, will weaken the bars over time. Pros: Easier to install and maintain than ICS. Stronger unless you still are using a starnut in your fork.

Each system is described below. A reverted compression bolt runs through the steerer tube of the fork and is screwed into the star nut which is pressed into the downtube of the bar as described in the above.
ICS is the easiest compression system and the cheapest as well. Unfortunately, it is not especially durable either. It requires frequent adjustments and the risk of damage on the star nut is high. In addition, the compression system requires removal of the front wheel in order to tighten or adjust the bolt. ICS compression is only compatible with standard sized bars or aluminum bars and require a slit I the bar as well as a special tool to install the star nut in the downtube.
Different brands have a small variation in the length of the headtube. Further, the headset determines the total length that the fork must go through. That is why the forks come with different lengths in steerer tubes. That means that the forks work better with some decks with ICS compression than others. The recommended maximum length is determined from the fact that the star nut should be placed 6. HIC compression is relatively inexpensive. However, due to the need for an oversized bar and clamp is will be more expensive and heavier than e.
Still, this compression system is stable and works well for doing tricks. The thing all shims have in common is that they are pushed down on the pinch ring and has a solid grip on the fork. Decks from different brands have headtubes with different lengths. At the same time, the headset determines the length the fork must pass. Therefore, the forks come with different lengths of steerer tube.
