Madd Gear Pro Fork Situation

[stukwon-do]

Hi there,
Have just been reading a few threads about the Madd Gear Pro(not Nitro) and it seems there are some issues with the headtube being too small? I can see that it is quite a bit shorter than a Razor headtube but does this mean i could not run say a standard 1 1/8" BMX headset with SCS, threadless forks and one piece bars?? Or would something need to be modified to allow me to? Any help appreciated.

yes you would need to cut down the forks

u could just buy a couple of headset spacers that way u wouldnt have to cut ur forks down

And would the spacers just sit between the headset and the SCS clamp?

 

[S4L]

yes

but then your bars will be a inch or 2 higher

They'll be an inch or two higher, but it will be the same height as on a normal scooter cause the spacers will just be making up for lost height in the headtube.

If you cut the forks you'll have to cut them down a lot, lose bar height, and won't be able to use them on any other scooter than a MGP. But everything else will fit.

headset spacers are the best option. its cheap, you dont have to cut your fork tube, and you dont have to buy taller bars
