head tube angle

[dec3193]

how do u adjust this, is it by bolting ur foldy differently or what

 

[tastyscoot]

yes i think you put the big bolt on the bottom to make it a 90 degree ange

 

[idk47]

1/2" or 7/16" bolt behind the headtube, and a 5/16" or 1/4" in the slot.

 

[Chris Picone]

You'll need to grind the bottom to make it fully 90, but putting the big bolt in back moves it a bit. I think it's sturdier too, just me probably.

1/2" or 7/16" bolt behind the headtube, and a 5/16" or 1/4" in the slot.

and grind it down like chris said

how do u do this with an old a pro headtube? cuz i really want a 90 degree headtube angle.

 

[dre]

it's stupid. I tried it and it's cool for a while until you realize how much it sucks. Might be ok though if you ride an old a/new a b foldy.

yeah i wanted my heatube angle different on my old a cuz it seems the bars are all up in me

On a pro you go one size smaller in the slot, and equally bigger behind the headtube. So 5/16 would be 1/4 and the 3/8 would be 1/2. At least, that is what makes sense, I haven't tried it.

 

[Mario Rocchio]

7/16 behind the headtube and 1/4 in the slot. 1/2 is toooo big.

 

[blaine142]

ok. so i have mine like 3/8 in that front 5/16 in the bottom and the 5/16 behind head tube, that lets it lean back cuz i dont like it straight up



TEHN u can do this
put the 5/16 in the bottom, then put the 3/8 behind head tube and then u will have to push back on ur headtube and quickly put the 5/16 one in the front hole that makees it more straight up

 

[Pete Pachota]

Dylan Kasson puts a bolt in the back so big, that he doesn't even put one in the front, haha.

 

[idk47]

Pete, with or without plates in front of the headtube?

 

[Steezeman]

You don't want your headtube to be 90Ã?Æ?ââ?¬Å¡Ã?â??Ã?º, but there's nothing wrong with steeper. It also depends on the way your scooter is set up, if you have a small wheel in back and a 125 wheel and fork then you're going to need to to be steeper.

Steeper is also better for wider bars to compensate on barspins.

 

[zprestoe]

ive got my back wheel axle in the bottom jhole of mech

if someone posts a pic this will be cleared up in no time

yessir

i ride my scoot steep instead of sweep.

makes things much easier to land

90 headtube angle goes like this:

-Old A headtube.
-3/8" bolt in back.
-5/16" bolt in front.
