[astars951]

[Chris Picone]

Solder. And soldering doesn't do shit for structural integrity, so that's probably why there were pipe fittings.

 

[nickpappapump]

you have to use hard copper

 

[diikforre]

copper can be welded too. its just that copper tubings main use is for plumbing. in plumbing, welding copper would be extremely inefficient compared to soldering. thats why people generally relate copper to soldering.

Are scooters/skateboards/bikes/cars/airplanes/buildings/anything made of copper? NO. Hydraulic installations are.

i went to Lowes and bought 20" of 3/4" copper for $9.00 and I cut it down to 16".I bought copper b/c metal is too heavy, pvc is plastic (duh ), and it too hard to find aluminum. Ive been riding my copper bars for a week and there still good...no bends or n e thing. knock on wood. lol

...I bought copper b/c metal is too heavy, pvc is plastic (duh ), and it too hard to find aluminum....

i think its funny how people refer to steel as metal and everything else like it isnt. copper, aluminum and steel are all different types of metals

 

[aj_rides_scoots]

copper bends, it doesn't snap i think.

ya i had copper cross bar in my t-tube and im only 90 pounds and i snaped it doing a barspin off a curb

thats because shelby cant do jack besides photos

 

[!Iscoot369]

true.

and steel isnt heavy if u just use it for a crossbar, and its like 1000000x stronger than copper so if i was u i would have used steel copper that just is ...

 

[jonny scoot]

why would you want to use copper. just use mild steel or 4130

 

[BradAyres]

You could make one piece if you wanted it to just bend in all directions
But it wouldn't be to bad to reinforce t-tube and stuff

cause i can get copper at home depot. if i actually wanted to order off the internet for a 4130 crossbar i would just get more metal and make my own bars.

 

[ben-pat-bro]

what about copper plated steel??? that would look mad....

 

[jonny scoot]

chromed is better
