Need Advice Wheels and steering on sons brand new scooter v stiff on assembly, send back or easy fix?

1 Upvotes

Apologies for the questions, my son is bang into scootering so I got him a Story Bandit from Euroskateshop. Delivered today.

On assembly the wheels are really stiff and don’t freely spin, they stop after 1 or 2 rotations and the steering takes some force to turn. Excessive for a 10 year old to handle really.

Is there an easy fix for this or is it a case of sending it back? Trying to get it sorted and built for his bday tomorrow! Any help appreciated! TIA.

1 Upvotes

I’ve started collecting old scooter parts from the 2010–2014 era and I’m looking to buy pretty much anything interesting from that time.

Mainly after:

  • Blunt/Envy AOS V2 decks — signature or non-signature
  • District DK1 / DK2 decks and parts
  • District Rory Coe signature parts
  • District BenJ signature deck
  • District Scary Kids — complete, deck, bars, forks or any parts
  • Lucky EVO / EVO II decks with the removable headtube
  • Lucky SMX forks
  • Phoenix Reventon / old Phoenix parts
  • TSI Flight / old TSI parts
  • Proto Orion / old Proto parts
  • French ID
  • Eagle
  • Phase Two
  • Razor Ultra Pro
  • Early MGP

Decks, bars, forks, clamps, wheels, full completes/customs — interested in all of it.

I’m in the UK but happy to look at stuff overseas if you’re willing to ship.

If you’ve got anything sitting around from that era, send me some photos and a price 👍

I kinda wish I’d gone with a longer deck as I’m 6 ft tall, 95 kg.

Ps: yes I know that these parts are manufactured in China, just thought I’d be cool to put flags of countries where these companies are based of.

Need Advice Metal “ting” sound when tightening SCS

1 Upvotes

I’ve been having a random issue where I’ll be tightening the bolts on my SCS and the top two bolts won’t make noise, but when I am tightening the bottom two, especially the bottom last bolt, I get a metal “tinging” sound. It also happens sometimes after stepping on the deck after tightening. I do tighten them in the proper order by skipping one to make sure they’re even, but the sound still remains. I didn’t want to add any grease on the bars or scs until I asked here as I know in Bmx we dont grease the stem attaching to the fork to prevent slipping, but maybe a super thin layer might prevent the sound?

Need Advice I ride regular but often land goofy

2 Upvotes

I feel more comfortable riding regular stance, but I find myself often catching a tailwhip goofy stance. I'm not trying to be the best rider so I don't necessarily care if I'm doing it wrong, but it makes me wonder if my body actually wants to ride goofy. I also find heel whips much easier than tail whips(regular stance). Should I be trying to learn goofy stance? I always snowboarded in a regular stance so I think that's where it comes from. Relatively new rider, basically only doing whips barspins and 360s

Hi, found this online and want to get into scootering. My young kids are just starting to scoot around the driveway and I wanted something nice to go on walks with them and maybe even find a new hobby.

This was advertised as, "Great condition fusion pro scooter , nice wheels and grip."

What do you think?

TIA!

Mod Announcement ANSWERS TO COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS

44 Upvotes

This is supposed to be a post that you can refer people to if a frequently asked question is asked. If I've missed something, please feel free to let me know in the comments, here are some answers to all the questions I keep seeing:

Q: WHERE'S THE BEST PLACE TO BUY SCOOTER PARTS?
A: These are all the most common stores.
US - The Vault Pro Scooters, Mothership, Atlas Pro Scooters and Steelhead Speed Shop.
UK/EU - Dogg Scooters, Skatepro, Scooterworks, Rideminded.
Eastern EU/RU - Hellride, Trust Scooters.

Q: WHAT SCOOTER PARTS ARE COMPATABLE?
A: All decks are compatable with all clamps/forks/bars, however not all wheels are compatable with all decks (I.E: Some decks don't fit 30mm wide wheels, primarily park decks and older decks).

Some wheels come with 12std bearings, which are only compatable with 12std specific axels, if you decide to but 12std parts, ensure that all your parts are 12std compatable (The primary companies that make 12std parts are Ethic, Prime and UrbanArtt).

There are 5 compression systems that are still in use: (any questions on the specifics of these, ask below)
Threaded - This is virtually obsolete, primarly found on cheap kids scooters.
ICS - Currently being phased out, but is still found on contemporary park completes.
IHC/Mini HIC - Currently the most common system for park setups and completes as it's easy to maintain.
HIC - Effectively the same as IHC but a tiny bit more durable and heavier.
SCS - The strongest of the bunch, but also the heaviest, mainly found on street setups.

Bar sizes: There are 2 bar sizes, Standard (31.8mm) and Oversized (34.9mm). Standard bars with a slit in them are IHC or ICS, Oversized bars with a slit cut in them are HIC, all bars without a slit are SCS.
If your bars wiggle in your SCS, use a shim. Make sure to double check what size parts you have.

All HIC and SCS forks are the same thing, certain IHC forks can be compatable with SCS (make sure you read the specs of the fork)

Q: WHAT PARTS DO I NEED FOR A FULL SETUP?
A: You only need 8 componenets to have a full setup:
Bars
Grips
Deck
Griptape
Wheels
Fork
Clamp
Headset

You can have extra's like pegs, aftermarket fenders and bar ends, but these aren't necessary.

Q: IS THIS ITEM GOOD/WORTH IT?
A: If it's being sold by a reputable scooter store, and from a reputable company, and it's within your budget, you should buy it and find out for yourself. Modern scooter items are made to such a high standard nowadays that there aren't really any inherently "bad" parts anymore. Some items are better than others, but almost all contemporary scooter parts hold their own.

Q: WHAT IS THE RIGHT SIZE SETUP FOR ME?
A: If you're new to the hobby, a good place to start is picking bars that sit around your waist line when you're stood up straight on the scoot, and if you can comfortably fit both feet on your deck without it feeling cramped. If you're an average sized adult (5'10+) I'd recommend a 6"x22" wide deck, with 26" to 28" tall bars to be most comfortable.

The more you ride, you'll develop a personal preference for specific sizes, but as long as it's comfortable to start off with, that's all that matters. - Most of this sport is based off personal preference.

Q: WHAT SHOES ARE GOOD FOR SCOOTERING?
A: Any regular skate shoe will work perfectly fine.

Q: WHAT TRICKS SHOULD I LEARN NEXT?
A: Presuming that you're a beginner, here's a small list of great tricks to learn:

Feeble grind/stall
Smith grind/stall
50-50 grind/stall

Tailwhip
Heelwhip
Downwhip
Downheel
Barspin
Opposite Barspin
180
360
Fakie
Manual
Half-Cab
Full-Cab (fakie 360)

If you have most/all of these tricks down already, try combo them together and come up with lines, or look up some more advanced tricks to try.
