ruption0 Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 new frame as the fact that your frame has snapped and been re weilded only makes it weaker at that point, plus for it to snap i would take it that it is in an area that takes alot of stress.

cas Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 If your frame is cracked, you get it welded. It still used to be cracked, therefore it will be weaker, my friend had his frame welded twice in the same place, then it snapped again in the same place and another area, re-welding makes frames weaker.haha i reck it made it a bit stronger to be honestdepends where it is init. mines safe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sam-cahill Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Weld it until you have the money to buy a knew frame or if you allready have the money for a frame just get a knew one. Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must have been really rough on it. Edited February 21, 2007 by [Mat-Ty!] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsboy_06 Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Hi if i were you i would get a new frame. Because if you do get it mended it won't last long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe@Onza Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 My advice would be to get a half price replacement. Welding frames is very inadviseable. In frame manufacturing heat treatment is essential after welding alloy and this perticular frame has two heat tretments which can only be carried out in strictly controlled factory conditions. Once you weld it again the frame will need to go through this process again. If not you will creat a worse stress point than the original one.Phone Super Cycles and get a new one.Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
