DeVal Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 looks like you were landing a bit hard down on the front wheel when hooking. unlucky m8 but seriously i would get a new frame. a weld around a whole tube will never be as strong.

Rob Leech Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 (edited) How do, If you do end up welding it up, this is what i would do- 1) Get a thin cutting disc and cut along the full lenth of the crack, going around 5mm past the end of the crack on each side (opening it up ). 2) Weld that up and grind flush. 3) Cut the gusset just before the semi-circle section and grind the welds off either side. 4) Fabricate a section to continue the gusset about 25mm past the crack. 5) Weld the section up fully. Think thats the best way to get around it, you could make the section so that it covers the welded area (crack) if you wanted, might look a bit out of place mind. Cheers, Josh. Edit- If you need someone to do it for you, let me know, sure we can sort something out Edited August 21, 2011 by Rob Leech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aener Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 (edited) Do this, I want to see how good a welder Rob is as I am looking for a good welder for a plan I have. (no offence meant there old bean) I can testify the quality of his workmanship. In not quite four years of knowing him, he has: Welded my cracked Onza Zoot frame, which lasted another 8 months of riding and is still fine (if a little dusty from being in the loft ). Welded my MASSIVELY cracked Onza Comp frame - 'bout the same as the one that started this thread but at the bash mount - ridden for another 3 months and still fine (also dusty). Welded my cracked Neon B4S, lasted another moth before dying. Welded my cracked Leeson, and added cable stops so I can have a front mech. Welded some Echo forks which lasted another month and a half afterwards. Made me a head doctor. Made a mech hanger for my Leeson. Made an axle for my Chris King rear hub. Made two axles for my Echo fixed hub. Made an axle for my Onza fixed hub. Tapped two frames brake mounts out to M6. Countless rim dent removals. Made a set of shims for 25.4mm bars to go in a 31.8mm stem. Made a set of shims for 31.8mm clamp front mech to go on 27.1mm seat tube. ...I'm sure there's more I've forgotten. These are all just fixes for MY stuff, let alone everyone else's. I'm such a basher He's such a God Edited August 24, 2011 by aener 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.KYDD Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 I've only met and ridden with Josh a couple of times but when I snapped my Speedrace Fans he offered to weld it up. The job was spot on and he got it done and sent back to me in no time at all I rode it for a further month or so before getting my Slate 3. It is still in my room as a spare if I snap the Rockman I would recommend his workmanship without hesitation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(no offence meant there old bean) i thought i'd jump on the bandwagon... i've never met josh but he just offered to weld my frame...he also made his own ally frame, and the carbon one looks pretty swish to I would recommend his workmanship without hesitation 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryanonza Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 (edited) +1 badwagon jumping: I would also recommend Josh too anyone that needed any welding doing, being an all roun trustworthy chap it's not what you know but who you know.
