help with my bars (pics!)

[Eric Magray]

just tighten it more, whenever mine gets loose i just keep on tightening, mine is so tight that the nut goes into the foldy mech lol

you should use washers

and ive been using only two bolts for the longest time but got them like 10x tighter than i used to tighten them and its never moved since i put it together.

i think the pressure of riding is pushing teh bolt that loks ur folding mech, bak, so the bolt is pushing against the folding mech's metal, and the metal is bending back. if u take off the bolt that loks ur mech,bet u'll find it like mine, the metal bent. and that makes more space so the bars are back. its like mine. all i did was undo the mech, push the bars forawrd, and tighten it.

Well my bolts were too short so I could not put washers on. But I tried something. Ill post pics tell me if its better now.

 

[Eric Magray]

well it sounds like you use axels? if you do then i dont know how washers work with them but i use grade 8 bolts and that shit not going anywhere + the nut/bolt doesnt dig into my mech with the washers.

[lloyd]

I dunno I just forgot to post pics again. Too lazy

 

[grantstark]

lol nice ^^^

my bars were movin back hella so i took the bolts off and relocked the entire mech and its hella solid now.

just take off the bolts put the head tube all the way to the front off the thing and bolt it tightly

 

[ChrisZ]

just get 2 5/16 bolts and 1 3/8 and i think they should be like 2 1/2 inches long

i use two 3/8 and one 5/16 , i hammer a 3/8 into top right space it's really solid and im sure that'll help even more

 

[lloyd]

Ok, yeah I was lazy and didnt repair it until now. So here are pics. Tell me what you think:
Before:

After:

Uh... they look the same even with a 3/8 bolt in the front. wtf

 

[Big L]

does it work?

 

[lloyd]

well it rolls like any other scooter, but I not sure if its straight yet.

 

[briflip]

ok u might be able to drill a new devit place like the one you have the bolt in now

 

[JustinB]

it looks the same in the before and after pictures to me, except you used bolts in the after picture and axels in the before picture

 

[lloyd]

ok u might be able to drill a new devit place like the one you have the bolt in now

[steve leone]
