Kavinci steering broke whilst riding

Unboxed the ATP last night. Quality looks on point. Also im happy with the opportunity to run diffrent diameter handle bars.

I have the jetworks OVP. I tighten it about once a season and don't use any grease. Had it for 3 full seasons now and highly recommend it. Super smooth, Idk why you'd need a bearing system.

I’ve never had any problems out of the overall ovp. I broke 3 blowsion ovp steerings and one rrp. No issues with the new ovp rrp yet and Ive had the same xs steering since 2015 and it’s never even needed bearings

I don't see the need for bearings here either. Good place to waste your money. Maybe I had junk but they always failed on me. I installed these almost a year ago and haven't had to touch them since. Bushings and grease for this hillbilly.

i have the h20 designs on my rickter. It comes loose all the time. Its a older model, but It literally will have a 1/8 of slop, and ill plate 10 foot rolls hard enough to strain the tendons in my arms, but the bolt shows no fatigue. As it shouldnt. I weigh 170 pounds.

Seen quite a few steering systems break this way. I also agree they are using the wrong materials for the stud/bolt, or the engineering needs to be looked at. A human should not be able to shear the center pivot of the steering on the ski. The bars should snap, or their wrists.

So last Night i would change the steering system. Only to find that the center hub has diffrent diameters :/ xscream is something Mike 19.70mm ATP is 25.43mm :/
So either need a new center hub or throw the new One In a lathe

open up the handlepole hole instead.

open up the handlepole hole instead.

if i open the handlepole hole, the XS steering bolt/hub will not have best fit. Could be an issue if/when i sell the setup. I've written ATP to hear if they have some bases with smaller diameter hub.

 

[restosud]

atp doesn't and who would want to go with the crappy xmetal setup anyway

 

[Iconicsuperpoop]

I'm with restosud on this one. Enlarge the hole. Turning down the o.d. is decreasing the strength overall.
