fork problems

[blaine142]

i keep bending forks! NOT cracking them just bending them. does anyone know if the sr threaded one will bend cuz i dont crack normal forks i just usually bend them and i dont want to pay 60 for threadless ones. and one more thing does anyone know how much the sr threaed forks way cuz i like my scooter to be light cuz i cant do anything if its heavy. and last thing r the old a model forks like better than the new a model forks cuz i saw someone comment someones thread about the old a model forks r better is that true cuz i have one old a model fork

Olda/pro forks >>> new a forks
threaded forks bend less easy

Also try heating the forks to 500 degrees or so then dipping them in motor oil til they cool. Metal becomes stronger when you do that.

sr threaded forks will not bend. you should reinforce them though. old a model forks are way better than new a model forks.

 

[Max Kernmayer]

new a forks are shit!
Just use your old a fork (and reinforce it) or buy a threaded SR fork (and reinforce it too)

 

[Jordan Jasa]

how are you bending it, at the tube or the tongs?

 

[blaine142]

im bending them at the tongs

 

[blaine142]

to reinforce them i put a bolt in the back of them like up by the flat thing that the tongs come out of should i put a bolt right below that ????

quick queston
cuz b model/ pro model deck is higher than old a deck,
can you use old a fork on a b model/ pro model?
will be like perfect, or will be slightly not fit.
