scooter problemm.. please help

[scott s]

ok so my scooter when i ride it it feels solid but when i drop it off the ground to see if it sounds solid its pissing me off its like either the brake or back wheel so idk please help me though..

 

[Michael Rankin]

if its the back wheel, then tighten the wheel. if its the brake, wrap a nickel in electrical tape and put it under the brake spring

 

[scott s]

back axel is extremely tightened i have a baring in the spring crazy hotglued that why im so confused!! lol p.sp are you related to patt rankin?

[scott s]

i already did that idk know what it is though it annoying

 

[mdemoss]

do u have any reinforcements

 

[scott s]

nope my scooter is in the scooter of the month if that could help i could also take pics of the back of my scooter

 

[Michael Rankin]

put tape in the bearing hole on your back wheel.
it may also be your deckplat. take the deckplate off and put a layer of electircal tape on top of the frame and your scoot will sound way more solid.

 

[mdemoss]

just tighten everything

 

[scott s]

wait whats my deck plate and i have tape in the wheel its an eagle so yeah

 

[Michael Rankin]

oh my bad, when you mentioned sotm i thot you meant that the newest sotm was yours. yeah i dont know what is making the noise on your scoot right now. and btw, who is patt rankin?

yeah something happened to me like this too is your brake a razor stock if so then the hole where the bolt goes through gets like messed up and i ended up drilling a bigger bolt on now my scooters sounds so solid

 

[scott s]

o so get a bigger bolt and drill it to fit it? and patt rankin is my friends friend i was jw

 

[scott s]

that didnt workk =/

 

[Michael Rankin]

you have to drill your brake and your deck to fit a 1/4" bolt

 

[scott s]

i did and thats not the problem with my scooter

 

[science19]

your wheel spacers?

 

[proudlefty]

OK, so, I think Simon was on to something. Here's what happened to me. My back wheel had the bolt unscrewed so long and I rode it so long with it like that, that the bolt starts to file away at the hole in the deck until it is much bigger. Then even when your bolt is tightened it can still move around because of the bigger hole in the deck. That has happened to mine and maybe that bigger bolt thing would work but it would still have to fit into the socket of the whatever goes through the back wheel. Hope it helps.
