[bucket]

for a new a u can get steal pipping or bars but it justs brakes at the foldie

 

[jeff26]

nope, if you love old as that much youll continue riding them, but i think you should get a pro model, at first i wouldnt ride anything but an old a, i loved them, but then i rode a pro model, bought one, and now i hate old as.

 

[Spencer Steed]

i hava promod and i ride it right now but ive got 2 old a's on the way lol

I've been thinking of a good way to reinforce them but I don't have the time right now for it. What you do is get an aluminum bar that fits well enough into the dropouts and then bolt it through at the front, and at the back replace the brake pin with a bolt that reaches to the reinforcements and bolt it with some spacers.

for those of you who say no you are wrong!!! i did this little custom mod right here:

take two small(er) bolts, drill through that angle shit (the only hard part), stick the bolts through and bolt them. make one toward the front of where its welded, and one toward the back.

yeahh its great i love it. soooo works too. BUTTT the only thing is you should ride 110's cuz you have a bbiiiiggg chance of scraping those bolts on turns and shit which would cause you to slide out (with 100s/98s).

Yep. After switching to a pro, you'll never go back. About an hour into a session i broke my old A so i switched my shit over to my pro deck, i got used to it in 10 minutes, didn't lose a thing, in fact it makes shit easier. Soooo much better.

 

[scooterperu]

yea, bolt them... that mod rocks!

 

[zakmak]

my freind broke his dropouts but then drilled through the sides and put 4 bolts in and it works perfect. but then that leaves the foldy which would go next so pretty much stick with a pro.

i switched to pro today do it dude its dank i was clearing shit like nothing

 

[Spencer Steed]

ne1 make a vid becuz im lost

 

[Roycee]

i might make one but im lazy i used to reinforce my madd droputs the same way
i remember a website with pics on it but i will see if i can find it

 

[scooters]

i did that to a new a i bolted it

 

[Roycee]

Sorry about the BUMP

A Picture

 

[Madis]

now it will snap behind bolts - still no good.
Erti has snapped his 2 old-a decks like that even without bolting.

 

[lloyd]

well stick some aluminum plates through the deck (triangle thing hole) that are long enough to be on the side of the dopouts, put a new bolt for the wheel and brake, and then bolt the plates through the deck like royce, but at the back, middle and front? (dunno if its been brought up yet though...)

 

[Hep Greg]

the BEST way to reinforce and old A is to stick it in your closet and buy a pro. =]

 

[Roycee]

your supposed to put the bolts all the way through duhhhhhhhhhhh...........

you dont have to you newb it still works
