Ryan. Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 why o why would you want a cracked frame? it'll last like a week then snap....then your out of pocket, be patient and save. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I_RIDE_ECHO! Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Personaly i wouldn't bother but its down to you really! How much they want for it? From personal expierience on my t-comp a crack lasts at the most a week! on a full day of riding that would about do it but im not sure how much stronger montys are?!CHIGS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cadbury's cream egg Posted December 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 If you know someone who welds and heat treats aluminium for a living, do it.If not DON'T.I do, so if it's cheap enough, I would.the frame is £25 i swapped it last nite for my t-pro and he gave me a front disc hub on echo rim aswellby the looks of it , it isnt a crack but im going to get it welded just encase , but there is a crack on the disc mount, fo shaw !!leon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Greenan!!!!!!!!!! Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 it will be ok, as i rode my cracked monty for about 5 months and am still rideing it. The bash plate mount holds the frame together well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom jersey Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 No chance. Get one that isn't snapped look at classifieds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si-man Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Can't go wrong for £25. Not alot really for a frame that could maybe last a year (my t-pro lasted me 2 years cracked until i gave up, its still alive actually!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinJI Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Cracked disc mounts no big deal, as long as you don't run a disc.Don't get the BB welded untill you are cirtain its a crack. The welding process geatly weakens the surrounding aluminium. If it is a crack though, its still gunna be much stronger than leaving a crack. Try to get it heat-treated if you get it welded, that'll help alot.I rode a welded koxx for a good few months, and a mate rode it for another month or 2 with no problems. My Iolo's cracked too, and thats not even grown in about 2 or 3 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
