Aluminum vs Steel (is real)

[Ian P]

Yeah, I'm like 200 pounds. Man, if someone started making titanium and 4130 decks, they'd rule the market for a while. Too bad I suck at welding... I mean, I'll weld one up for myself, but I'd need to get a lot better before I could sell my handiwork. Damn - do I just get an aluminum deck, or spend like thirty hours cutting and welding and grinding some custom trainwreck that might be stupid when it's finished...

titanium does not go along with other metals.

I meant titanium OR chromoly. I never thought of combining the two metals, sorry for the confusion.

You won't break a Phoenix. If you want a really strong deck, with a lot of space, go for an Ambush.

The sky high v1 bars were 4130. Still riding mine for almost a year I think. Too bad they closed. :-(

seniors are chromoly and ive seen a chromoly deck btw cant remember brand b and m ,or b and n something like that
and my choice id go chromoly bars decks and forks

and no titanium is a very flexible metal bikers that have ridden ti frames say they feel like cheese and are weak plus it would be hella expensive

titanium is hella strong what you talkin bout willis

nitro!!!

well i would look into the nitro if i were you because you look at twan and terry price and they are like the biggest people i know on scooters and they hold up fine and i dont know if its true but twan said the nitros have 3 year warrenty on all welds so it sounds pretty legit...im riding a blue nitro and i love it(but im not a lard ass);D

Bars 4130
Deck Aluminium
Forks 4130

Some decks made of aluminium are heavy enough, to design a 4130 deck that is strong yet light enough would be pretty hard.

Forks and bars being 4130 just makes a nicely balanced scooter, prefer the feel of welds and things welded together rather than one hard block of cnc.

k so i looked up carbon fiber and if you have the same amount of each substance (steel and carbon fiber) carbon fiber is 5 times stronger than steel 2 times stiffer and only costs 10 $ per pound

Welding makes weak points in decks. If you want a strong deck, you could try a proto. I know nobody has tested it long enough, but they used the on on the mega ramp on nitro circus and that held up good.

for one day

No, for their whole Australian tour.
