Alright, ive been searching around. No one has yet to post a video or some type of picture step-by-step on how to reinforce decks. All typing descriptions have made me desperately confused so if someone could post up how to do it i would love you forever. THANKS! :)

1. have daddy drive you to home depot.
2.purchase 2 reinforcement plates approximately 3-4 inches long
3. remove wheel/break
4.align these with the side of the deck, mark out on the plate where the wheel axle, break axle thing, and a point about 1 inch up (towards folding mech) from the brake axle are
3. drill corresponding holes in the plate and 2 holes in the deck (1 inch up from brake axle). i like to us a 5/16" bit, and obviously a smaller one for the break axle.
7. put plates on, bolt wheel and break back on, put on another b axle in the holes you drilled in the deck.
6. youre done


just like any other mod youre gonna have to fool with it, the brake thing might not be long enough to get the nut back on, figure it out, i did. there will be other problems too, deal with it, youll be smarter in the end.

I know some French guys had a site that had pics and everything of what to do, but I don't remember where it was.

it depends what you want to reinforce. i only ever break decks at the dropouts, so if youre like me theres no reason to have the full deck reinforced

Old A's are amazing. I love them. You dont really need to renforce them. Each one last 4 months of constant riding for me.

alright, so its only held on with the back axle and the break one? or do i need to drill 1 more hole and bolt it again there?

i think what you wrote meant 3 total but not positive.

stan, about your reinforcements and pictures i looked:
that dropout's regular bolt is short for that now... the little bolt inside the long one will eventually snap faster, because it's not entirely in the long one.

i think it will be more cost effective to me because ive never broken a deck anywhere but the back dropouts so illl stick with sean's idea.

i just re-read it a bunch of times...

and the only thing i dont understand now is what the reinforcing plate looks like. is is what stan had? or is it completely different. I dont know what im looking for once i get to the hardware store haha.

THIS WILL HELP YOU TO REINFORCE YOUR DECK

sorry if you don't understand but the pictures will help you.

VERY IMPORTANT: The front things is really important. If the two bars aren't linked to the folding mech system, it will breakin the front of the deck. SO IT'S HARD TO MAKE, but if you do it, it's paradise, you won't break anymore deck!!!!!!
