Deck Reinforcement

[FrenchID]

it's working perfectly... I heard heavy, you seen my minivid, i can fingerwhip flat, so no problem at all.

A good Thing to do to retard grind scratches, Put masking tape onto the bottom of the deck. This way you have a nice greasy slide & not scratching. ( I am not to be blamed if any of you split yourselves trying this, it worked for me, you might be different.)

haha masking tape would peel off fuckin easily man.

stan i tried ur idea, but my brake bolt is to short to put the nut back on.

 

[Stan Smirnoff]

u make a hole a lil bigger so the brake bolt just sits in it ..lol..

Thats retarded, if you grind a ledge it will rip. Auctually it will grip from stalling a curb or catch a screw when your grinding a box.

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.

still having same questions... with KC pro in the mail i kinda wanna "practice" on my current pro model

If the reinforcements is on the out side of the deck put it on the inside and drill the axel hoel a bit bigger so the spacer can fit correctly...

 

[Stan (GTR)]

thats exactly what i did!

my friend twan got the plates from the folding system of a B model, and wedged them in the drop outs, it worked perfect, i'll see if i can get pics soon.

Not my dads Industrial Strength Carpenting Masking tape, That stuff's really sticky, but you can replace it

 

[Newfie Skoot]

LOL neggaz beat that! but im getting my new Bullet from micro! woohoo

How well does that work, i am looking to reinforce my B and i was thinking if that plate along the side enough or that rectangle piece of metal on the insude of the deck would be better.
PS: im not worried on the weight.

 

[Brian Boston]

It dosn't matter if its on the inside or outside really. I would do full length re enforcement like his is though, if you only make them like half way you move the stress point to the middle of the deck. Looks sweet as shit too

 

[Stanio]

thnx

 

[josh gummersall]

yeah man stan had that deck at tz a few weeks ago...so sexy. pretty heavy tho. looks really long lasting

 

[tunney]

full deck would make its a lot heavier, but if you dont care for it

a scooter is 6 lbs or less for some people extra weight would build the we ones up some mucle

 

[gazza707]

i wouldnt care about a few extra pounds if it meant a beter more solid scoot

 

[Tyler Ha1e]

what good is a solid scoot if you cant do anything on it?
