Hey Guys,

I was just wondering how to make ur scoote really soild. Like when you drop it on its wheels it dosnt make annd clinking or other noises. It just makes no noise at all.

I was just wondering what i have to add or do to make it like this.

All help would be appreciated.

Because maybe, just maybe, he knows how.

YOU WILL NEED:
High quality wheel bearings
Dialed headset (easily achieved with aftermarket)
Unovalised wheels
Decent brake spring
Tight everything

The most likely rattle will come from your bearings. If they're old, they'll most likely have some wobble in them. You cannot fix this.

Bearings = SHQ Bearings which are brand new.
Headset = Stock. Need to get one. But i dont know how to put it on. lol
and the rest are fine

Alex. How do i stretch my brake spring. Im afraid if i take the spring off ill never get it on again.

Could you please explain how i can do this and what i need.

I have my headset dialed tight and its the stock one.... Still barspin so fast it looks like I just opened my hands for second just like everyone else.

For me home depot axles with lock washers, home depot lock out bolts with lock washers, one piece bars, tight brake and a dialed headset keep my scooter whispering around the spots.

I made my one pieces for 30 bux, 16.5 wide 21.5 tall

just make all the bolts tight and make shour you have good wheel bearings (i run stocks) and make you head set smooth and tight by puting a tun of head set greas in it and it should be all good

- Drill your break and deck out to 1/4" and replace your brake bolt with a 3" long x 1/4" bolt and nut.

- Pack your headset with LOTS of grease and tighten until it doesn't shake.

- Make sure your bearings are in straight and your spacer isn't compressed, then tighten them down REALLY tight so they don't rattle at all. If they seem slow, it doesn't matter, when you apply 100+ pounds on it, they will roll just as fast as before.
