move headtube foward

[jonny scoot]

Does anyone have an idea on how to move a pros headtube foward so that it is about 3 degrees off vertical?

take the front plate off and use a smaller bolt..
or file the the top bolt hole a bit wider

 

[JackDillon]

Wleding could be another option?

Use a 1/4" bolt in the slot, and put a 1/2" bolt behind the headtube and you will have a 90 degree headtube. yay.

Yeah, keep the 5/16 bolt in the bottom, one size down up front and one size bigger behind the headtube.

why? I used to have a head tube that was cut shorter, re-drilled and steep as hell. I liked it till I started riding a scooter with the normal situation going on, actually feels so much better. but if you want to giver, then giver.

i think it is personaly easir to hang 5 and it is just more comforatlble for me.
bth, will it creak if i put a 1/4" in the front and a 1/2" in the back

could i just swap the front a back bolts around

well it makes doubles flat hella easier and same with hang fives and I guess barspins too, even though I could still barspin fine after I moved my bars back to normal. So I guess if you try it and enjoy it then keep it. It's really not for everybody though..

yeah its way more comfortable for hang 5's.
mine was once verticle but I moved it to around 85.
its perfect once you get used to it.

1/2 inch wont work. Ive tried. I had to use a 7/16.

I think the only reason the tube is angled that way to start, is because it puts your hands right over the mech. Less leaning forward involved.
