craigjames Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 (edited) Its not my frame and cant be bothered to reply what you said and proberly end up argueing, read what i also said that your being sound saying you will compensate him and most people would just ignore the matter till it went away.Hope things get sorted for you sandoman as its a real nice looking bike, wish id of got one now when i had the chance.really nice looking bike dual disc is awesome in this sort of matter unless its constructive, keep you two pence to yourself. as has happened here it just turns into a bit of a slagging fest.

I still don't know if I like these frames or not..they're a bit too different I think?I just thought that (I'm the e-bitch haha) Anyway yeh everything is sorted and money is being sent tomorrow as for tha frame i never remembered it being that long (in the wheel base) and in general.Have to admitt though i have a soft spot with it as a dual disc Tom Cheers Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froob Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Well really the cost of repair should be a fair lot, as the frame needs welding and heat treating and that isnt cheap. If it isnt heat treated then the frame is weaker around that area due to the heat from welding and will proberly crack after quite awhile as alot of stress go through the frame there from gaps and drops ectYou don't need to get it re-heat treated.Heat treating (I think) is when the frame will be heated to a high temperature then cooled down very quickly.The reason welding undoes this is because instead of cooling it down quickly it's left to cool down by itself.So if after welding you were to put it in water (enough to cover whole frame) the heat treating won't have been undone and it will be as strong as before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

froob Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 the frame gets raised to a certain high temp and held there for a cetain length of time. it is needed.Cooling it down quickly after is a way of hardening it up.I wasn't certain about it but doing what I said will probably make it stronger than just having it welded then left.
