new bmx stem type thing mod

[Dylan Kasson]

heres some pics.... I just need to know if you can get those stems with a 1 1/8 diameter to fit the cups? and if I did then when I put the fork in I would put spacers on it because the threads dont go that far down which means lowering bars alot but it seems if this could fit scooter cups it would be fucking amazing tell me what you think

kool but it looks like the deck will be higher at the front than the back ?

 

[Madis]

If it's a regular stem, with 1-1/8" hole, then it will only mount the fork. You could make a steerLESS scooter. You would need ~1.338" (34mm) ID hole to fit in headset cups which will fit on 1-1/8" forks.

Btw, it'll make the nose really up big - it'll change the whole feel.
For third thing, if it'll fit any cups (idk, like smaller headsets for 1" forks?), then it won't be solid. Never ever, because of the height of the "headtube" and the headset stacks which are too small to be solid in a stem and because it has a space and bolts in it instead of just a simple solid headtube.

Cool find, but not useful.

looks kinda sketchy

 

[jakob-b]

hmmm .. cool i wanna see it put together

 

[zakmak]

seems like a good idea
just make it work i wanna see it done.
seems like a great concept.

 

[Steezeman]

Eh...

It might work, but like Madis said, the cups wouldn't really be solid. You'd have to use SR forks with it too unless you had tons of spacers because the threads on normal forks don't go down that far, being as the headtube would be maybe a third its original size. The headtube would also be loads lower, making the bars lower and the deck higher, and probably making the bar angle really funky.

 

[Madis]

Man i think this idea already will fall down because the stem's inner diameter is standard 1-1/8", which is the standard outer diameter for forks, there's no way you can put a headset on that, like i said.

 

[farmboy uk]

yah, i dont think it wil work well

also i just realised in madis' pic theres a bike on the ramp

 

[Jordan Jasa]

wait thats a ramp? I thought the scooter guy was jumping off that white ledge over the bike to flat?

back on topic it sounds like it wouldn't work, but it would be cool to actually see it work though.

 

[TravisFuck]

that will never work, you should just save the money you would spend on the stem to get some welding done

 

[Scooter Mcgee]

I dont even understand that

 

[related2jesus]

it wuld be gud if u can do it but otherwise gay

 

[Pete Pachota]

Haha, sorry Dylan but this goes nowhere. Even if you could fit some cups in it and mount the fork, the deck would end up being severly slanted backwards, so unless it was going to be a downhill scooter, this would suck.

 

[Dylan Kasson]

if you milled out the back a bit to fit bigger wheels on it it would be a sturdy ass scooter and deck room probobly wouldnt be compromised because you could stand where the folding mechanism use to be

 

[Eric Magray]

basically everything madis said and the headtube angle would be like 87 degrees which is insane.

 

[zakmak]

well make it and see how it works.
