Annoying Foldy Noise

[Deluzion]

ive been having annoying problems with the foldy on my scooter as it makes alot of noise and ive bolted it but as hard as i try to tighten it the next day it just starts to creak again when i jump etc. is there any way to keep it tight and not to shift around and make noise? thanks

 

[haydenscoots1151]

are you using lock nuts with your bolts

 

[Deluzion]

are those the ones with the round ends? anyway im using 3 normal bolts with washers on every side.

 

[Deluzion]

i also tried putting my bars forward using a bigger size bolt but i tihnk it just moves more now -.-

If you wanna spend money, SOA bolts.

 

[Deluzion]

if i was to buy them how would they help or stop it from moving or creaking

 

[kurt warren]

just so u no, locknuts r those nuts that have nylon on the end, normally blue

 

[Deluzion]

okay its not the bolts/nuts that are the problem its just the headtube rubbing between the foldy making alot of noise just from a simple bunnyhop

im serioulsy consitering makeing a video tut on how to teach kids how to bolt foldys THE RIGHT WAY
ask if you want me to

 

[Deluzion]

yeah ive done it the right way and putting my bars forward has made it move the slightest bit and make alot of noise, if u can tell me what are the perfect sizes of bolts for putting the bars forward?

the creaking will probably stop after a day or two it happened to me when I bolted my scoot aswell.

umm i had that as well but i just got new bolts:
2 x 3/8
1 x 5/16
and sanded the foldy inside so its rough not smooth and shiny and do the bolts really tight but the back bolt not too tight cuz it can crack ur foldy

EDIT: oh and tighten the allen key bolt at the front of the foldy b4 u tighten the bolts cuz then its impossible to move forward

 

[BenTen]

pretty much right oliver
but put a bottom axle on the bottom
and you dont need to sand

 

[Deluzion]

ok thanks for the help guys but i put the bars forward for a reason and because i put them forward i had to change bolt sizes which has made it creak so IF im put the bars FORWARD what bolt sizes do i need then? not just the sizes for bolting it on its normal angle. cheers
