Whats the difference between old a and pro model?

[jman1994]

My scoot broke, so the only thing i have left is an old a, will that do in the mean time? Whats the diff between old a and pro...

 

[Joe Riley]

pros have stronger foldy mechs. they are thicker.
old a's have less ground clearance, the back dropouts where the rear wheel goes are bent upward.
pro's use extended rear axles instead of short front axles for rear wheels.

 

[jman1994]

so the foldy mech would break easy?

 

[Joe Riley]

not really, its just the pro ones are stronger. the old a foldy's tend to bend easier. a lot of people say they are weaker, but i think there pretty strong.

 

[jman1994]

iight. so i think it would be fine for like a month just until i get my new one.thanks

whats good about old A decks is that you can reinforce them and they'll still be lighter than a pro deck (or at least near enough a similar weight).

Reinforce them? How?

 

[jman1994]

how do you lock the folding mech on the old a?

 

[JDBen]

^(above Jelani) L-Internal Deck Reinforcements.Duh!?

 

[Joe Riley]

top front bolt, bottom bolt, and bolt in the top long row behind the foldy mech. you need to push the bolt up against the foldy and tighten it really hard, so it holds it and stays in place.

i never broke one

 

[JonnyJonDogg]

ben he means at the back of the deck coz thats the only place people really snap them

 

[JDBen]

^Oh right right

erm.....no idea, i suppose welds would help.

 

[Humma]

Weld plates there.

 

[kolbycrouch]

maybe you could get longer reinforcements and bolt them to the back wheel although they would have to bend but i think it would work

 

[jman1994]

yeah true that...
