Changing you head tube angle

[saltwater]

Whats your best way of changing your head tube angle, i heard getting a smller bolt at thefront and a bigger bolt at the back works best, an there's 1 where your grind the back of the head tube?

i use 2 3/8's

i use a real big bolt(so big that i have to grind down one edge so it will work)and a rediciously small one in the front cuz i like how blades ride and it feels so much better than stock it produces a angle of around 84-85 maybe more.
ask me for pics on msn one day just not tonight cbf pulling my scoot apart

i put in the plates that are on the bottom of your deck, plus the regular size bolt you usually use. i put one plate in, then the bolt, then you have to drill out the headtube so your other bolt works. I've done this wih every scooter i've had. works like a charm.

does it feel alot different when the angle is changed

i use a 3/8 in top bolt and a 5/16 in the back behind the headtube, like most people, works great.

thats how you keep a stock headtube angle. put a 3/8" bolt in the back and use another 3/8" bolt in the front but file it down so it fits snug

 

[JDBen]

you can grind in the holes in the headtube bigger and use a bigger bolt

Easiest way to obtain a steep angle headtube: Old A headtube, big bolt (3/8) behind the headset, prob could of searched before you made this thread, cuz there's been like five similar question thread before

 

[Rob.]

Yeah, Old A headtubes are steeper by default. So Old A headtube + 5/16ths in the front hole, and 3/8ths behind would be a nice headtube angle if you like steep

also drill out the bottom hole into an oval, so the neck can go more foreward. if you understand that.

use foldy reinforcements and strong bolts so you can make it really really tight.

i cut my headtube and drilled new holes and its higher and more angled..its orgasmic

 

[gerkin of honour]

best way is to go 10mm back and 5/16 front. only aussies can do this i think?

 

[Billie Rainbow]

Avoid drilling and grinding the scooter it not much but it effects me heaps cause all i break is the foldy.
