M6 allens, new standard?

[Riley Hughes]

Hardware on pegs, bolts on TSI Sceptor bars, and other bolts are metric 6 instead of like the stock razor metric 5. it is SOOO MUCH better!!! they don't strip, they're very very strong, and they're bigger and more manly.

these should be the new standard. throw out your 5mm allen wrenches, M6 is where its at

discuss

 

[DavidCronin]

i get these too, theyre the only ones that fit at my hardware store

truuuue datt i use chrom axles for my front peg and my phoenix an with chromo 6mm back axle

 

[mitchwashere53]

allen wrenches, we call them allen keys in australia.

but yeah i got pegs that are a 6mm allen key and its great.

 

[Billie Rainbow]

i was talking about this to some mates, might suggest madd to do it. 6mm is just better overall

 

[Jossy]

true dat. i used to ride bmx for a bit and never broke an allen key or rounded off the hole or nufin. billie you should go with that idea. imo if madd change their standard size and people like it, other brands will follow suit and madd gear will have done scooting a huge favour. if they dont like it just go back to 5mm. too eazy!

 

[Steezeman]

Yeah I'd like Andrew to do this as well, it would be nice.

 

[Hogan]

ya my scooters 6 mostly now anyone want like 20 allen keys they where like 10 cents each so i bought all the ones in the store and now i got nothing to do with them

14 of 16 bolts on my scooter are M5... I don't see the reason to change anything...

 

[SOA]

i like it that every one likes the idea

i lot scooter products to date come wit the 6m size we have always used this for axles on peg kits also sold the axles for replacment on stock axles or lost parts so on

the 6mm is so much stronger, but products like proto scs & clamps would have been redsigned to do this due to the 5mm bolts are a different cap end so if the 6mm bolts for the scs or what ever it is are bigger cap ends which they normaly are new programing is needed not much but sum

& yes billie tell madd to do it & include a 6mm with the boxed scooter then other brands would follow this aka razor

1 brake bold, 2 axels, 4 in clamps (stock XT bars , 2 double clamps), 4 on my top thing that holds the crossbar, and 4 on the bottom of the foldy...
Those are M5, 2 additional bolts are for wrenches, wich hold the headtube on the foldy plates...
17 actually...

cuz your just gayy.

Sorry for using and abusing my scooter till it brakes, and not getting new parts just for the looks... I'm soo sorry...

 

[DavidCronin]

still not enough, you need more!!!

 

[GoGzS]

still not enough, you need more!!!

I don't get it, I should now loose some bolts, just couse some 12 year olds thing I have too much of em...or should I change them all to M6?
No seriously, sorry I don't ride a phoenix deck with 1 piece bars...when there will be bars wide and strong enough, I might switch to one pices...and loose 6 bolts that way...
Would it make you a happy man?

 

[DavidCronin]

dude chill i was kidding, i dont ride any of that fancy shit either

the ones on the bottom of the foldy arent size five they size 3-4 cant remembaa
annd its not for looks its fo all around comfort size 5s are hard as hell to find in hardware stores and pluss aluminum strip out after like a week

 

[Matthew_D]

Ive had a 6mm bolt for my back axle for a long time still not stripped and always stays tight. Definitely better that the razor stock 5mm.

You can't remember? Well I can go look...and oh...M5 even at the bottom...
Sarcasm aside, never stripped them or had problems, so yeah...
