the hardest thing to buy for me is t tubes and once they are bent cannot be fixed so i am waiting for seasoned bars so i can get 1 piece :) headsets are easy just fiddle till it feels good.

Well , I guess it depends what headset you're using. I tried Chris King , stock , stock with ceramic bearings , FSA unsealed pig and FSA unsealed pig with ceramic bearings. My favourite is the Unsealed Pig with ceramic balls. There is no movement and it spins smoothly ( maybe like 6-10 rounds ? )

Its boring to hammer headset cups out but it's pretty easy. Taking off grips and putting them on are easy as griptape. Its easier than taking out and putting on new wheels.

I think putting on the brake may be the most difficult.

1 piece bars are you serious?
there are like 2 bolts you have to loosen
when i had 1 piece bars they were the easiest thing to take off/put on
id probably say drilling steel bits for deck reinforcements are pretty annoying when you have shitty tools

Yeah one piece bars can be a pain if they aren't made right.
Like, my slits were to big so the bars moved slightly, so i made a shim and then that day they bent anyway..

Other than that i'd say Breaking decks is the Most expensive and annoying to repair.

1. putting a bottom race on a fork, i just can't do it.
2. getting grips on and off, mostly off though.
3. putting in a back wheel can be a pain when your dropouts are curved, makes the spacers hard to get in.

Working on headsets is annoying, but actually putting the cups in is the hardest thing. That is, other than actually making scooters, I assume.

I love working on my scooter, I like my scooter to be completly silent so thats probally the most annoying thing for me, to find whats ratteling and what not. Other than that I find headset extreamly easy to remove and install and to get that dialed spinning. Grips are easy always to get on, but to get off I just use the WD-40 with the straw and spray a little underneith the grips and slide them off, then clean out the inside. The most trouble I've ever had with my scooter was installing a starnut, which I still cannot do. Damn I'm wrighting a novel.

haha, i have never had experiance with a starnut, but i am going to order some SR fork soon so i'll see how i cope with it. Getting grips off are really annoying, especially when u dont have that nosel like corey does. i also like my scooter to be dialed, but i am very very bad at fixing it, especially the headset...
