bolt it?

 

[jakeschwartz12]

i have and still wobbles and my headset is fine and tight Ps its spins fast to.

 

[qwxor]

ok so did you maybe use the wrong size bolts or something?

because if your headset is tight and spins fine, and your bolted foldy is still moving something's wrong haha

 

[jakeschwartz12]

It can be done. I have done it along with a few other people but I recommend sticking with bolts.

bolts for life.

i'm never going through all the pain of welding and reinforcing again, just to have the dropouts break the next week.

and what scoot are you riding?
new a?

 

[Jake ODonnell]

yeah just stick with bolts.

 

[Mike Montgomery]

bolts are nice
just make sure you are using the right size and that they are tight enough

 

[maxlikesscooters]

yeah bolts r ur first choice...tighten as much as possible

 

[team_punishment]

take out the plate in front of the foldy so the foldy can tighten more

Yea, stick with bolts, it's easier to change the headtube with your dank headset (if provided) in case you where you should snap your deck for example.

I welded my cruiser's one only for one reason so i could powdercoat it. Looks a lot cleaner too though.
