just bolt your bars with a front wheel axel

no, I'm talking about the clamp on the t-tube which helps the bars stay on the forks lol.

Look around and see if anyone uses a BMX clamp on their scooter for that clamp, im pretty sure people do. You could just do that

I've been thinking about that for a while, but I don't know what will fit and what won't, because most of the bmx seatpost clamps are a bit different from each other depending on brand I think... I'm not sure though, I just need to know which ones work and which ones don't so I don't spend my money on something that doesn't fit.

well that sucks


umm maybe cement it? (my feeble attempt at a joke)

the bolt is 6mm thread.....technically speaking i think its called M6. ask someone who works at a hardware store for an M6 threaded bolt in the length and type you need, theyll know what your talking about

or the easy was is to just bring a clamp to there and test fit some bolts

What about just bolting your t tube?

well for the bmx seat post clamps, i ordered a 1 1/8" one and it ended up being too small... so maybe try a 1 1/4" clamp, but first i would ask around cuz if it doesnt fit it will just cost u some good money

1 1/4" works

that's wierd, I brought the bolt in to the hardware store and I tried to match it up, and it seemed right but when I tried to put it into an m6 nut, it didn't work...

thanks, I'll try that. A replacement bolt would be better, but if worst comes to worst I'll spend the extra cash and buy a seatpost clamp.

then im probably wrong, and thats weird cause i have an m6 tap and i tapped a hole with is and the bolt fit perfectly

yeah, I just sorted out the problem today. It turns out that my old bar clamp bolt that I was using to test out new bolts in the hardware store was kinda messed up, and the threads were sorta stripped. m6 is the right one by the way.
