Alex Dark Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Basically i might be getting a zoo pitbull to replace my woodstock, but im not sure if its worth upgrading, the zoo will leave me £50 out of pocket once i get it welded, which is money i could spend on buying a new crank arm ( so i finally have a bash! ) and new trials specific bars......opinions anyone?Not sure of age of pitbull, but its in ok condistion, lots of scratches, with one crack under the headtube that i can get welded for £20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What some have found that cracks form next to the weld. This can be avoided by re-heat treating the frame, but this involves specialised equipment and knowledge to take the frame up to the right temperature then cool it down gradually.

Bionic Balls Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 now this may not be true....but a welded pitbull will probably last longer than a woodstock...woodstocks do feeeeel nice though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
