hi,
i want to exchange a part of the fat 40x40mm frame (default strength of the StreetFox and StreetFighter) actually the part that holds the front wheels.

like THIS (but not that heavy with suspension *lol*)

how thick have the tubes to be (and how thick should the walls be)
afaik squade pipes are way more stable... would they fit my needs better than round ones? (i build a scooter the last days and my round pipes bent like warm candy sticks - i used a pipe of a girls-bike, which were way thinner than i thought - finally i added another pipe in front of the other pipe to make it strong enough - if someone is curious i can post pictures of the scooter)
