/PROTO Scooters

[JonnyJonDogg]

i dont think wee will have them though...

 

[Lil Steve]

WOW those are awesome. Good job Andrew.

 

[kolbycrouch]

I dont understand why you wouldnt make thicker threaded forks like inwards it would be alot cheaper alternative not having to pay upwards of 50 bucks for a headset then 65 for a compression sytem even if you charged 20 dollars more it would still work out cheaper and alot of noobs wont be smart enough to be able to run the threadless sytem

wordddddddddddd

A lot of noobs aren't smart enough to even use a threaded fork properly.

can you please explain how you cant use a threaded fork properly?,

 

[JDBen]

^I think he means they don't know how to put them on and take them off etc.

 

[JonnyJonDogg]

lol yeh noobs i know dont no anything about scooters.

 

[Chris Harris]

omg those look so nice... when will they be available

 

[kolbycrouch]

lol yeh noobs i know dont no anything about scooters.

yea but if there not gonna know how to use threaded then how the hell are they supposed to know how to use a comp system

 

[Stevenson]

I make performance parts and threaded forks are not performance parts. Maybe someday I will release a threaded version of something if the demand is there but it most certainly is not my priority.

More stuff on the way.

those gussets are so nice

You are talking in a dead circle.

What i meant is that if people would know how to use a threaded fork properly, then in that case their headset wouldn't wobble and the headset would spin aswell. Go to a skatepark one day and check everybody's scooter that has a threaded fork and tell me if they knew how to use a threaded fork properly or not.

As for the dead circle - if people can disassemble and re-assemble the old threaded compression, then they can disassemble/re-assemble a threadless compression aswell since it's easy to install, easy to maintain (if it ever needs it), easy to tune and it's faster.

i was just saying that bcoz pretty much no1 rides threadless forks in aus due to the fact of that we dont have any compression systems available to us

yes i understand you now, i does seem alot of people dont use it quite correctly, i really do hope this new compression system is as easy as andrew and others say it is, i guess we shall find out tommorow

 

[Chris Sanchez]

Andrew when will the TANK bars be available?

I'm not joking or bragging if i can say: i can disassemble my scooter into 4 pieces within 15 seconds, and rebuild & tune it back in under a minute using the new Proto compression system, while others are still looking for their unsealed headset balls and trying to spin their large nut back onto the fork over bent/stripped threads.

Soon my boy, soon.
I'd carry them out through WEE if there's any need for them, but i doubt i can get any forks yet.
Plus i'm trying to get the postage fee to AUS as cheap as possible.

 

[Michael Martinez]

i gotta say i am really impresed with ur retro bars i might buy some in september for my b-day cuz i really like them the way they came out as well as the design

 

[spitfire0453]

Yeh those bars do like nice.

My main point was on the cost of everything not the fact that they wouldnt how to put it together it will be more than twice the ost to have the threadless system than just a thicker threaded one even if the threaded version did cost more it would work out cheaper

 

[Michael Martinez]

Andrew when will the TANK bars be available?

i just looked closer and i seen in the background were two more bars lol

 

[byreen]

the cost is pretty high, but id say the item is worth the price. I saw just the clamp and how tank the scooter was with the quad clamp and i basically sh1t myself.

 

[Lil Steve]

The new compression system will probably NEVER come loose.
