multiple questions/problems with scoot

[Josh N.]

aight thanks

and again
and again

why would i turn the clamp sideways ?
and about how high shud i put it?

 

[Jake ODonnell]

yeah just make sure you cut straight and youl be good.

 

[Mike Montgomery]

i dont know how that would help.
but when you get the bars on the fork good
then the clamp should be at the bottom of the steer tube.

 

[Josh N.]

gnarly. aight thanks guys i think im good to go. i need to fix this problem, spray paint my scoot black and yellow, http://www.amazon.com/Dimension-Cheese-grip-Black-Yellow/dp/B000FSCG8Q buy those grips, get my green machines which should be coming soon, get new bearings and my scooter will be complete :]

what do u think of that?

EDIT: that link isnt working on mine but idk tlel me if it doesnt work cause i want to know if they will be okay grips

 

[Mike Montgomery]

good idea.
but when you spray paint your scooter make sure you do a good job and follow all of the steps.

btw if you spray paint it after a while it will scratch and by like 2 months it wont look very good.
unless you dont bail hahah

EDIT: no the link doesnt work

 

[Josh N.]

maybe this link will work Grips i want that should work

and for spray painting would this be a good proccess?

cant remember the names but there are special types of paint for undercoat and clear coats etc, but this is how you should do it


1. sand it with fine sand paper/ wire wool

2. under coat x1 /2 (greyish colour (laquer i think its called))

3. Colour you want x2 or 3

4 Clear coat not sure how many...

just leave it about an hour or so between coats other wise it might mix with the undercoat etc and go manky

that seems good

AND YES that link does work

 

[Mike Montgomery]

ok i saw the grips
i dont know if they would ge good
but they would look good


and yeah that is a good process
but it will still chip and scratch

 

[Josh N.]

mmkay and about spray painting do i have to do an under coat? and does the color matter for the under coat?

 

[Mike Montgomery]

i dont know about undercoats.
i have never done one

 

[Josh N.]

so this is where i shud be cutting right?

and its okay to cut through that kind of whole thing? idk the thing that i pointed the arrow at

 

[Mike Montgomery]

dont cut your bars though.
just cut taht much off of the top of your fork

 

[Josh N.]

RAWR im so frreeaaaking confused on what the heck im suposed to cut

can you please like explain in a little more detail

 

[qwxor]

take that steer tube out if you know what that is.
the thing with the slit and the one you put a white box on in that last picture.

then, where the steertube ended, cut that spot and yeah

 

[Josh N.]

you guys are both saying different things mike is saying to cut off the top of my fork and chris you are saying to cut the end of the steertube...

 

[Griffin]

Um, well I saw a few people's scoots with clamped turned sideways, so I thought "why not?" It might help you not bang your leg on the clamp, I don't know.

 

[scootbobby]

those grips are quite comfy, some one at school had them on his mtb, purple with white stars

 

[master]

Ok
1. Take the fork out of the bars
2. Cut 1 inch and a half from the top of the FORK (the threaded bit)
3. Then but the forks back in the bars and they will fit.

Also you put the clamp sideways because it makes the bars tighten round the fork more because the slits on the side allow it to bend a bit (If that makes sense).

 

[Josh N.]

thanks rob

okay should i cut here A

or here B

also another problem just came up haha. when i put the steerring tube on i can just push it in for the first about an inch and then i have to start screwing

kind of like this

 

[Josh N.]

Ok
1. Take the fork out of the bars
2. Cut 1 inch and a half from the top of the FORK (the threaded bit)
3. Then but the forks back in the bars and they will fit.

hey thanks that does make snese so that would be option A in my last post
