I always ride my cruiser board to my local skate shop to get grip.. Everyone at that shop hates scooters.

Every skateshop in the area knows me as mclovin or that scooterfag with red hair.

So? They all hated me for the longest time until they realized I was chill and now i can walk in there, eat their food and play their video games and they couldn't give half a fuck

ask for Tubing- then just decide on the wall thickness

Pipe is not sold in OD only ID so the Outside diameter can vary.

Pipe carries fluid, gas etc etc.

When calculating Volume(s), Flow rate, pressure etc you need to know what the INSIDE diameter of the Pipe is, don't care what the outside measures. Wall thickness does matter since you need to know how strong the Pipe needs to be.

TUBING is structural- you don't need to worry about the ID- nothing is going through the Tubing- it only needs to support something. Wall thickness does matter, again, for strength concerns.

example.. Tubing for Standard bars is sold as 1-1/4" OD .065 wall Thickness

the size required for Forks I don't know off hand.

you can get the wall thickness of the Threaded and non threaded Headsets

On Line metal shop

don't know them so yer on your own ordering- Most major cities should have a shop that will stock the Tubing
