Dream Scooter Setup

[Tristan Mathews]

Ti is heavier than aluminium but it is much stronger ,has alot of flex and if I remembered correctly , Ti is weaker than Steel. I'm not sure of the last part.

And... So , I congratulate Tristan M for he has the most flexible scooter in the world. Like Jelly.

wtf? titanium is lighter then aluminuim, aluminuim is a stock metal for scooters, but titanium is much more expensive but is definetely lighter and definetely stronger and wat gave you idea that aluminuim was lighter then Ti but steel i think is just a tiny bit stronger then titanium

also forgot bearings- sum Ti bearings
my sxc fit grips and profile barends
{in the end my scooter will just be Ti and will be taken with the wind oohhhhh!!!!!

 

[Steezeman]

All that I heard about Ti is that it's a bitch to maintain, because if you don't put some special stuff on it it'll cold weld itself to whatever metal it's touching. Plus it's weak, you never hear bikers saying "oh wow, I'm so glad I got this Ti part, it's so strong!".

Aluminium's density is 2700 kg/m3 (kilograms per cubic meter)
Titanium's density is 4507 kg/m3
Steel's avarage density is 7700 kg/m3.


If you make a deck out of Ti, that will bend in the middle. Same goes to bars and bearings. Ti is only good for a couple of bolts, pegs, BMX stems, clamps and steertubes, but why have a Ti steertube when you can have a aluminium steertube which is cheaper and lighter at the same time.

And yes, Ti is weaker than steel, because it bends easier.

So in the end, Ti is almost 1.7 times heavier than aluminium.

Madis busts BIG with the facts.

how is the carbon scooter scary??

Everyone i've talked to that rode them say they are so light. Theres like no weight to them, it probably feels like its going to break under your feet. Don't waste your money on it.

 

[Pete Pachota]

Yeah, a stock razor scooter was really scary after riding my jumbo steel deck, I can't even imagine how would I feel if I stepped on a carbon fiber one.

 

[jeff26]

i wonder what kind of tricks people could do on flat with a carbon fiber scooter.

 

[Brian Boston]

I remember Pate told me awhile back that triples flat were like effortless.

Exactly.

 

[zakmak]

that has a werd fork. i like the look of it but i would be so paronoid it would
brake. it looks cool though bmx grips.

 

[Brian Boston]

The fork looks weird because it has a internal headset...

 

[Behlau]

Mine would probably be:
Old A Model
Back 110 Metal Core
Front 110 YAK
Edwin Grips
Locked Mech
some smooth Headset
Ride or Rad Bars.

 

[cyberduelist2]

The Chris King headset is THE headset, which is why it comes with a 10 year warranty and is as much as it is. And this is the Dream Scooter Setup thread, why not go after people talking about cf/Ti scooters?
