YOUR BROKEN SCOOTER

[James Hoffmann]

Okay so all these kids at my local knew that i ordered Deildegast bars and they came up to me the other day freaking out because apparently sky high had posted a snapped pair of Deildegast bars on their snapchat. I didn't have them on my snap so i spent the like last 3 days looking to see if someone screen shotted it and i had no luck. mThis morning i just decided to add them just cause, then i wondered if they would reply if i asked them if they had a pic (expecting no response) A minute later i got this from them View attachment 1307

Those were shorty's and he goes pretty hard so you shouldn't have to worry too much. I just got some too and they feel awesome. If you cut down the width of the bars, less force will be exertered in that area so it will be less likely to break there. I cut mine to 23" so not much, but some.

I kinda thought that would happen, they butted the fuck out of them to keep them light but there's only so much weight you can remove before it starts affecting strength. I wouldn't worry though, that was probably one of their team riders who goes hard as fuck, if you're not someone who breaks parts often you'll probably be right, or if you're that worried just swap them

I guess it was Devin Heald's bar.

pic?

Looks kinda like nothing but I feel like I'm gonna whip my ankle riding it haha, and its noticeable when I'm just standing on the deck or just riding it flat

What the fuck. How long did it last?

I think I bent the brake on my stealth into my wheel. I had to take it off because my wheel would rotate about 1/4 of a turn when I spun it.

Couldn't you have just bent it back up again?

dont ride 83 degree headtubes thats whats making all yalls threshs and sledges and shit break..........if you ride 82.5 it still might break but it will take a hell of a lot longer

How do you figure that? 83 feels 100 times better and never broken a TSI so that's not really a problem for me I guess haha

I don't think 0,5° will make such a differance....

lol wut

 

[Chrispy]

With decks being hand welded its not alwys gonna be 83 or 82.5 on the dot and they can be about .25 degrees off either way but no one ever feels it lmao

I dont think an 83° hta is more prone to breakage...

Yea how the fuck would a head tube angle be more prone to snappage

I mean technically the steeper the headtube angle is, the more torque is applied to the deck/headtube. Although, on something the size of a scooter, thinking .5 degrees will make a difference is just stupid.

i kinow its only .5 but i know a kid that had an 83 thresh and it broke in like two months then he got an 82.5 and its lasted him 4 times longer both v2s

That's not necessarily because of the headtube angle. Could have been a bad batch of decks

One example does not mean it is true for every deck. That's like saying I know a person who got shot and died instantly, so everyone who gets shot dies instantly.

Like 6 maybe 7 months

Sledge?

yeah
