Ladd Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 1.If welded the frame gets brittle if its not heat treated after welding, 2.Dont leave a snapped frame you would feel the frame flex and bits hanging off it.3.Buy a new frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trials_pimp Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 If you have sbapped it in 3 places then the frame is not strong enough for your ability of riding.Get a stronger frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

txt2007 Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 If my frame snapped i would firstly check any warranty's, i'm not going to buy a new frame if i can get a free one, then if there was no warranty i'd have my dad weld it up and if it ever snapped again i'd guilt him into thinking his weld led to me falling off and snapping the frame again so then i get a free frame complementary from my dad, either way i aint payin' !

mcinnes Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Its a 2001 t-mag I just have it untill I get a gu le :$Finally on the forum i see. And you never told me you were planning a GU LE The frame isn't snapped yet, just a few cracks, but they should hold until you get the LE. ( if you want it welded, my uncle could maybe do it for you ) . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo-Scott Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Finally on the forum i see. And you never told me you were planning a GU LE The frame isn't snapped yet, just a few cracks, but they should hold until you get the LE. ( if you want it welded, my uncle could maybe do it for you ) .If there just cracks you can drill a small hole at either end of the crack and that will slow it down. But don't do what mcinnes did and drill a hole big enough to acctully make the crack worse :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
