Deck Reinforcements

[ryankeong]

I am not sure which dropout reinforcements to do matt dibbles look good and seem like they would be stronger. What would be stronger thoe on the inside or outside of the deck and i can most probably get aluminium or steel but i think steel would be a bit heavy and over kill. My dropouts have small cracks in them and i am just wanting the reinforcements to makemy deck last a while longer ay ideas?

 

[ryno]

i got steel strips on the sides
which work so well i put them on after my scooter had like cracks in them and my decks been fine for 2 months with cracks in them

 

[ryankeong]

can u post picks or something and dimensions or thickness of the strips?

take your scooter to a hardware store and measure the strips to make the perfect fit

3/4in width, 1/8 in thick and 2 ft long, then just cut it down to lenth and drill a hole for the two front screws and the axel.

 

[ryankeong]

do u use the same screws already in the fron of the deck are they long enough or do you have to get bigger ones i might get strips and dibble reinforcements

 

[lloyd]

will last forever

i did wut gabe said above, same dimensions (aluminum) and just bought a new longer rear axel bolt and longer bolt 4 the break and everything else works out fine.

Do it on the outside, it's way easier. And make sure that it goes all the way front to back, and is bolted somewhere in the very front and very back.

I have strips on the outside and DIBBLES on the inside. Thats the best thing to do.

What are the dimensions for reinforcements on the outside of the deck and zack what size are the bolts you used to bolt down ur strips?

 

[Steezeman]

Logan, put spacers inside your reinforcements where the axle is.
