Ok first problem is usually the brake.
BRAKES
FLexfenders people!!!!!
But if you don't. If it rattles your goin to have to do....
A: replace spring
B: put dialers under your spring. Nickels, Lego pieces, washers. Just stock a flathead under your spring, lift it an stick the piece under there.
HEADSETS
You have have have to keep it compressed, here's how.
THREADED
Threaded headsets take a good bit of tinkering with b4 you find the exact spin/wobble ratio. Just mess with it till it's nice and comfy.
Make sure your lock nut is tight as so it doesn't move. Make sure your bars are all the way on so te lock nut has no space to move.
Same goes for Threadless headset on threaded fork.
THREADLESS
You are going to need compression. See the types of compression thread(will add later)
Once you have, make sure it's tight, this way there's no play and everything sounds good. Put your bars on and tighten em up.
WHEELS/BEARINGS
Basically if your wheels aren't Ovalised just throw em on.
If they are Ovalised, put electrical tape in the bearing slots. Find the right amount an tighten em down.
If there's play in your bearings all you can do is replace them.

Hope I helped.

alright so i just finally got my scooter to max basketball status and i am tired as fuck from working on it non stop for the past few days. anyways i have hardcore ocd so if anything on my scooter isnt dialed it drives my nuts to the point where i cant even ride it. needless to say i have become extremly good at dialing scooters.

anyways as i said i am way too tired to do anything right now but dont give up on this thread just yet, i will make an epic post in a bit which will contain a lot of valuable information...
