Hi. It was spring 2011 when I cracked my GU TP08 ... I give it to welder in aughust. I rode it just for 2minutes and frame was again cracked near new weld. I have read a lot of things about welding this material. it´s U6 which mean 6066 with T6 heat treatment.
I have learned that it need to be after welding again heated for 130°C I think . I ask teachers from my school if they know about someone who could do this but they didn ´t know.... So I need to ask if it will be possible to heat this frame in big oven for ceramic ? and for how many hour it´s need to be heated ?
few od my friends have welded frame (koxx,ZOO!06,KOXX SKY) and they´re all ok. I think 06zoo! should be made by same method as mine GU. So maybe problem was in welder who used wrong method, or did something wrong ?
what you think ?
Only reason why I want to weld this frame is that it´s prettiest frame ever made imo and it have thick tubes so it´s not problem to weld it.(frame is cracked behind BB part where tube is welded to this CNC part...)
