Need help with pro model

[scoringhornet]

Well today my old A broke and i have a pro model lying around that i never use. It is heavy to me for some reason. Its bars can also barely spin. I dont really know what i need to do to fix it. Any mods that would decrease the weight and such?

Hopefully there is something because i wanna make my pro model better =)

Pro model's arn't too heavy man.

If anything they need to be heavier!

Thats why i dont ride pros.
I'm a weak kid.

 

[William Biedrzycki]

Pushups!

 

[gmonhollon]

lol will you rock.

 

[Behlau]

I can only do 2.

I can do 14 chinups, but pro models are heavy for me. I can barely whip those things.

one thing you can do to decrease the weight is to take off the front plate. on the sides of the deck near the front there are screws that you can take out and a strength plate thing will come out, you don't really need that anyways. and you can clean your headset, soak the bearings in alcohol, and then put some 3 in 1 lube on them and they should be pretty fast.

but if u take out the plate, wont it make the rate of breaking the scooter go higher?

 

[gmonhollon]

yes man, just grease up the headset on that thing, and ride it, you'll get stronger by riding it and practicing whips, even though its not hard at alllll.

Take out the bearing cups and put some WD-40 on them. Tighten the clamp at the bottom with a 5mm allen key, gut the headset (take out springs n such), and take out any plastic thingys left over and that should decrease some of the weight.

dont use wd40 it collects dust

Take out the bearing cups and put some WD-40 on them.

WD-40 IS THE DEVIL. Use 3 in 1 oil, and don't take the cups off haha, just unscrew everthing on the front and take the bearings out of the headset, soak them in rubbing alcohol for a few minutes, dry them then oil them with 3 in 1. They put grease in when you get it, although its better for the bearings, its slows them down cause its so thick

Whaaaat? Wierd I used WD-40 before and it worked fine.

 

[scoringhornet]

any other things to decrease the weight?

It might work when you first apply it but then it starts to suck and shit.

well, John Radtkey said that it really doesn't make it stronger, so its your choice wether you trust his word or not.

 

[scoringhornet]

but how would cleaning ur bearing make ur scooter lighter?

 

[kyle_ogle2]

With the bars just keep spinning them and they loosen up..

 

[Spencer Steed]

this might hav been said but oh well, the bearing in the headset, soak them in rubbing alchohal (im bad at spelling)and i had the same problem switching form old a to pro mod. so i had a new A and i took the t-tube off dat and put it on my promod and it help'd a shit load with wieght.(hope dat helps)
