Mark W Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 It's a Control: The Pure frames have pretty standard mounts and yokes compared to the Control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolver Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 It depends, my ciguena worked better in the middle. See where the brake lines up, if it'd work better, or no wOrse slammed, do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murph82 Posted June 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 (edited) I figured that mate i was hoping to find out what type to see if my mate can weld it up! Edited June 3, 2012 by murph82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostrider88 Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 I´m affraid it´s 6061-t6 so without heat treating it won´t work.But I might be mistaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 (edited) If 6061-T6 is right then it'll weld fine, but the area around the weld won't be heat treated to T6 specification anymore, so won't be as strong unless it's re-heat treated. It'll need to be TIG welded using an appropriate grade of filler rod. (In terms of filler rods, in case your friend needs to know, 6061's made up of 1% magnesium, and around 0.6% Chromium, Copper and Silicon.)

My bro got his frame welded at pro welding company and it cracked after 5min of riding right next to the weld.And I´m sure it was only because of lack of heat treating.

RobinJI Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 It could well do, like I said, the area around the weld won't be T6 heat treated anymore, so it may well be weaker than before. It will weld fine though, in that you can make a good strong weld on it, hence you brothers frame cracking next to the weld where the material properties had changed, rather than the weld its self.
