Does anyone know the size of the steering colum you would use on a 1-1/8 ADA racing stem? (it's the same one that's on buffs)

[lukeakascooter]

how should i go about reinforcing this deck i havent got any ideas?

 

[dezbert]

put aluminum strips through the deck all the way to the dropouts.....then put back on the axle. I've done it before....it's works very well.

 

[lukeakascooter]

how do i put them in there????

 

[dezbert]

Seriously?.......you slide them through the sides of the deck all the way to the dropouts, cut holes on the strips for the brake axle and the back wheel axle and you'll be good man.....and then bolt the strips in the front of the deck all the way across the deck....or just use tape.

i tried the ]

1st get a cloth(paper towel/ tissues work ok), mentholated spirits, lube and jar
Take it apart, dab the cloth in metho wipe the cups and racers until clean.
Put the bearings into the jar, fill with appropriate amount of metho shake for a minute or 2(repeat if necessary).
Lube the racers, cups and bearing (I use 1 part automotive bearing grease, 2 parts oil)
Make sure you put the head set back together in the right order.
And there you go a clean, fresh, smooth headset!

Im going to show you how to make some scooter reinforcements.

Tools you will need:
your aluminum square bar
hacksaw
drill
sharpie
ruler
5/16 by 5in bolt with washer and nut

1 step:
get your aluminum

2 step:
cut it to the length of your scooter

3 step:
get one of the cut bars and line it up on the side of your scooter and measure were the bolts
are with your ruler then mark them with your sharpie (this is a rough draft with the scraps I had)

4 step:
drill the top holes big enough to fit the head of the screw through, then drill the second hole big enough to just fit the thread of the nut through that way the head of the screw holds the reinforcement on.(but don't actually put it on)

step 5: get the reinforcement you already drilled and taped it to the other piece of your reinforcement and drill the holes.

step 6:
take of all the bolts your reinforcements go's and put it together.

Hoped this helped and feel free to ask me any Q's about making your reinforcements
or if you want me to do more detailed steps on how to make them.
