looks solid but is your wheel out of line?
Like i told earlier, Cory got a lot of 125mm wheels instead of 110 and discountwheelandskate didn't replyed back nor answered the phone. So we let Cory to send those wheels.
Finally decided to try out a 125mm wheel too so here's my dragster i rode today:
Micro Bullet with 20x20x2mm pipe reinforcement kit
RAD bars v2, 16" wide, super-comfortable
ODI Longnecks and TSC barends
1 1/4" bike seatpost clamp
FSA Pig DH Pro headset
old fork with long threaded tube + forktube reinforcement
yaks, 125 in the back, 110 in front.
You can't imagine how this baby flies on the street with fresh big wheels. Very good for cruising around. But i believe that i will change them all back to 100mm like i always ride because it feels a bit heavy and clumsy with a 125mm in back when i whip. Although 540 taps and over-park-riding was good with it. It's just 100mm makes the tail lighter and feels more solid. It's just a dilemma and i hate dilemmas.
PS, this scooter isn't ready yet haha - i haven't found any time to make the threadless fork and to change the brake maybe.
God, i'm a mod-whore.

Haha Madis. no offence or anything but you seem to be the biggest postwhore in this thread. What happened to your pro model? You must be spending a huge amount of money on scooters all the time.
Thank you haha, why/how does it seem like that?Pete Pachota said:
Remember, my pro-model started cracking, then i welded the foldy and the crack in the dropouts. Since then i rode it for a couple of times when my micro deck arrived. For now, pro-model is my backup deck, but fortunately or unfortunately my reinforced micro deck will not snap/bend probably ever - so i might sell the pro-model deck later maybe. Both micro and razor feel good but razor snaps, i can't weld the upcoming cracks forever. And when it eventually snaps, then i would have to order a whole new scooter with unnecessary parts like bars, wheels, fork, necks which all takes a lot of money, time and nerves too so that's why i only got a deck from Eric because i knew that will last like forever since noone has managed to bend or snap a correctly reinforced micro deck. I ordered only a deck, so then i knew i will get RAD bars from Cory and i already had some wheels from Andrew.
Maybe like 1-2 times a year for bigger orders from abroad, all the rest of the stuff i'll try to get and manage them in Estonia. All what i want is a solid fast comfortable scooter.Pete Pachota said:
And the prototype deck idea is my pure interest even though aluminium is cheap and the work costs like 48$/hour - my design should be easy to do and should take like 15-30 minutes.
It's not only meant to be for riding, it's also meant to get some experiences.
If i remember correctly then it's a Sprite brake. Looks small and so high when i have a 100mm in the back, so someday i'll have to take off the reinforcement bars to get closer to the brake pin and change the brake to a new-a or a pro-model brake, because they are stronger and look cooler too.Pirate Alex said:

new a, b foldy but i made it the way tyler hale does, where he cuts pieces out of the new a plate in the deck, the one that curves, so taht you can drill and bolt the b foldy onto it. its a lot stronger than trying to bend a b model plate to fit and it is all just easier.
reinforced fork
110 yaks
bones super swiss 6
full deck grip
locked folding mech, duh
old rad bars
