on the ball.Are the holes specifically placed where there isn't points you think would affect durability or?
what i am trying to get specifically out of this scoot is to feel like the first scooters i rode but with a massive increase in durability. they were Blade/Madd decks and stock bars w/ trolley pole (obviously better forks). pretty much razor old a with a curve side instead of straight lines/triangle.
if i rode it now i would break it in a day but i can recreate the feel by allowing the parts to stress in zones that usually never even cop a scratch. a chain is only as strong as its weakest link.
in theory they will hold almost as long but with the added flex, problem is they do have a quicker fatigue (bending) and more sudden failure point if a certain amount of force in certain areas is used. i would give you numbers but they wont match up or sit right with many other riders abilities because well... its not for anyone person but myself to need to know since you wont ride it.
i will give you the weight numbers so you can scratch your head raw trying to understand how it holds.
forks: 230g (axle,compression,headset races) deck:1240g(brake,grip,bolts,headset,axle) bars:730g(grips,clamp,starnut) wheels:500g pair w/bearings (no mods)
sitting on about 2.7 kg(6 pound) atm, had drilled out ethic incubes but i wore them out last week, they were 420g with bearings.
