idk about old a headtube. i know you do for pro ones.

ive been riding this for 4 hours and all i have to say is omg. its amazing.
it feels kind of like a bike would.
my hops are higher, whips and bars are more balanced, everything is so much nicer. really its really nice to have close to 90 degree bars once you get used to it. amazing. i love it so much now idk how i rode without it like this. just my opinion. but it rocks hard
 
there ARE 3 bolts retards and the best set up for bolt is two yes TWO 3/8ths bolt and one 5/16(or an old back axle).

YES THE BOLTS WILL FIT PUT THE BACK IN THEN THE FRONT 3/8ths BE A MAN!!!
SUPER SOLID!!!

My friends madd gear is close to 90 it feels weird but my friend loves it that way. If u had a one 110mm wheel it probably ruin the whole 90 feel. You should have got zero off set forks i think it might work better.
 
Yeah I think zero offset forks would make it feel more like 90 degrees, also having the same size wheels on front and back, not 100mm back and 110mm front or 110mm back and 125mm front.

i cant even ride his scooter, its horrible
85 degrees or sumin on mine, its perfect.
 
yea they are 90 or really close, very comfortable too, the headtube is the same size all the way through so i have to use it if i want to use my cane creek

Haha, I've actually ridden 90 degrees. I took pictures and measured the angle in photoshop. It was by far the most uncomfortable feeling scooter ever.
truth. Anything past the stock headtube angle is just plain retarded, makes everything so weird.
false. There are a lot of possibilities between stock and 90 that feel awesome but stock and 90 are both pretty retarded.
true, id say about 87 or 86 feels really nice, 90s comfortable but whips and certain tricks like finger whips feel wierd


like zomg double post, havnt done that in forever

no be quiet, were not talking about 70 to 80 degrees. were talking about 85- 90 degrees. and if you bolt your foldy its always super solid. oh and that be a man thing. using different size bolts doesn't make you a man. having a penis makes you a man.


to kolby. 90 is so comfortable. like bmx. i got my whips back in like 2 trys and 5 mins later i had flat catches back. spinning is more odd but i got pretty much everything back in 5 mins. noes grabs are the only thing i couldn't get back in a day. right now i hop about 3 more inches then i did before. getting more to. but if your going to do this stick with it because its hard to go back. riding stock angle feels gay now

Most frames have a headtube angle of around 75 degrees :p

But yeah, after you do this, bars that are farther back make you hate stock headtube angles.
