NileBrown™ Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Awww dam and do you know arount how much it will cost me to get it weld ?Did you buy the frame brand new by any chance? as you may be able to claim a new one under insurance providing how long you have had it.But not only would you have to get it welded but heat treated as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 It will be one as nearly all montys crack there. If your going to weld it then it won't cost much tenner most i would think. But if you dont have it heat treated aswell it will just crack again qith in no time. Have you thought about trying to have it replaced either get intouch with where it was bought from or send pics to rathmel sports who import them and they may be able to warrentie it, but if they are able to i should think it will take a while for it all to happen and you get a replacement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty Evil1 Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Alright mate, sorry for the late reply, ive been at work Im pretty sure that "crack" has been there since day one, had a look and as far as we could tell, it was just in the paint. That bike done 2 world rounds and a few brit rounds,and it was fine.I got that bike in augest 06, and you've had that bike for 6 months now, i think? So there will be no chance of a replacment from rathmell.I suggest going to see lee crisp of crisp engineering and see what his opinion is Hope i could helpScott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrAsHeR Posted October 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Ah ok ok cool thanks mate yea i have allready called lee but hes really busy.Just a question why didnt you send the bike back when you first got it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Evil1 Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Because like i said, we have always thought it was a crack in the paint, so didnt think there was any reason too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrAsHeR Posted October 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Ah ok i see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 So there will be no chance of a replacment from rathmell.Not completely true as a friend sent his old monty frame back to them and they got him a replacement, and his frame was like 2 year old i think and had 4 cracks.

Waynio Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Dont weld it, it will just make it weaker, i have seen a couple of these frames with this mark there and they dont break or snap.Like Ian said, just leave it and ride it, if you weld it you deffinatly void ANY warranty you may have (obviously if the bike is younger than this one is)iv had frames welded in the past and the problem you have is after welding it becomes weaker as the alloy is heated up and just turns into putty, a bit like bending a mech hanger, when you straighten it its weaker, then snaps.Wayne.
