Why do you need to lock your folding mech to use a threadless fork?

[gsp1179]

I just don't see why that could possibly be necessary. Is it preference, or actually required?

 

[jorje]

i guess you dont have to but if you dont have you foldy locked something is definately wrong..

 

[gsp1179]

Yeah, I'm lazy as shit.

 

[theworm]

just lock it
it takes like 5 minutes
and it is soo much nicer

 

[gsp1179]

The hard part is finding the necessary bolts without finding them online for me.

It'd be more for the shipping than for the bolts!

you dont have a hardware store?

 

[gsp1179]

I do and I went there. They were zero help and didn't have much in the way of bolts though.

Would it be okay for me to ride my buff bars and threadless fork without locking the foldy for a while?

 

[jorje]

dude dont even do that, i dont understand whats so damn hard

 

[gsp1179]

Jesus, I just want to know if theres any legitimate reason. ANY AT ALL.

 

[Jake ODonnell]

your could, but it would look sloppy.

all your have to do it go to the supper scooter modding thread, and write down the bolt sizes, and show them to the people that work at your local hardware strore, and they'll hook you up

 

[gsp1179]

Alright I'll do that, thanks.

I've just been putting it off because I have no way to drive and the nearest hardware store is like 5 miles away.

 

[maxlikesscooters]

yeah dude just go to the thread then hardware store and ull be stoked on how good your scooter feels compared to a stock not locked foldy

use a pro or a b or new a back axle and 2 bearings

put one bearing on the axle, then push it through the middle hole of the pro foldy, or the upper hole of an old a foldy
then put the bearing on the other side, push the bolt up against the foldy, and tighten the axle.


thats how a lot of woodlands kids ride theirs
