Be nice children.

- New batch of SCS is on the way but we are probably only getting Silver, Gold, Black and Purple.
- New batch of reTros and slaYers on the way. Heat treated. Powder coated. Booyah. (other models are on hold until this batch is released)
- Powdercoated forks on the way along with 125mm.
- New batch of the old shirts on the way and maybe some new shirts.
- Stickers on the way.

New PROTO Lifetime Warranties:

- ALL machined parts (metal cores, clamps, SCS, ICS caps, etc. using proper installation)
- ALL welds (does not cover bending)
- "donut" dehubbing (does not cover normal wear or chunking only full dehub of urethane)

So yea.

I will be in Ohio for the next 10 days filming for the video so don't panic if I stop posting.


I'm confused on this. So if My slayers bend at the bottom do i have a lifetime warranty? what about at the welds on the top? what about bend on the crossbar?

and what abut my proto wheel? what if it dehubs completely? or chunks?

full urethane failure

and welds meaning cracks at the welds no bending is covered

The guarantee is on welds: it means, if the welds crack and the crossbar completely comes off the steertube, then it's going to be replaced. This warranty does not cover any sort of bending because bending is considered as normal wear and it is inevitable to bend bars, even if it's not hollow tubes.

About wheels: if the urethane comes off as a donut (i mean like if it comes off so that not a piece of urethane stays on the core), then it will be replaced. Chunks, flatspots and etc are considered as normal wear and is inevitable. In the old days, cores broke before polyurethane, because the cores were plastic. Novadays the polyurethane breaks before the core, because the core is made out of metal. The only way to avoid such a thing is to make either super rock-solid urethane which will feel like shit (it's slippy and you will feel every little tiny rock on the pavement) or out of metal. If you drive a car or anybody in your family drives a car, then you know that nothing is indesdructable, that's why you even have to buy a set of tires for your car aswell from time to time, because the tires are not going to last for 500 years. Same goes to scooter wheels.

Edit: About the lifetime warranties thing, could someone edit the link to the page with the post that has the lifetime warranty in it onto the first page? So people can find it easier without searching through all 85 something pages?

Why don't you just bend it back? Forks don't bend from straight up riding, you have to drop it at a weird angle or throw your scooter in order for it to bend.

this is bullshit.
these wheels need to get a better design.
all it needs is less urethane.
