to reinforce the headtube for the ultra pro (where it breaks) u could get some tubing that fits, maybe razor pro adjustabel bars and either use the t tube or the bit of the bar where the grips go on and take them off depending what fits. or any sort of metal tubing that fits in a RUP (razor ultra pro) and then wrap some sort of sticky tape eg celetape and wrap it round untill its a really snug fit and hammer it in. o yea and cut the tube so it fits nicley in and the reinforcement is flush with the deck. to reinforce the deck futher you could fill the tube you used for reinforcement with some material such as hotglue.


to reinforce the forks do the same by getting metal tubing filling it in and putting tape round it so it has to be forcefully hammerd in.

to make the bearings faster or clean them put them in a container (take the rubber sheild off by prying them open with some thing shap and small dont bend the sheild much) with methylated spirits to clean them and then PUT BONES SPEED CREAM IN afer the bearing has dried up(there are tutorails on youtube for this). if you dont put any lube in the bearing they will melt and will stop abruptly and you could harm yourself badly. You could do the same to the wheel bearings as you do to the headset bearings if you know how they work but dont mess your scooter up be carefull and make sure you know what your doing.

o yea and hotglue your wheels,there are tutorails for this on youtube and it makes your wheels alto stronger

plus the perfect socket for socket pegs ,had to cut a bit of though they were mega long

sorry to be a bother but could you make a video or but on some pics?

 

[instinctscooter]

sorry but..
I would if.. I had a camcorder and ive given up youtube for lent but on easter day or after (UK time) ill post up links for some of the tutorials but look on "how to reinforce razor pro forks" or "how to reinforce forks". for hot glus wheels just look up "how to hotglue wheels" or something similar. the headtube reinforcement i made up myself so there is no tutorail and for the bearings look up "how to clean skateboard bearings" and find the ones where they bathe the bearings in meth spirits and just do the same to your head set bearings. If I do get a camcorder in the future I would do a how to make the most out of your razor ultra pro vid if I had the recources and still had a RUP.


anybody know if you can raw RUP bars and not repaint them or will they go rusty??
