George6512 Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Right i just cracked my speedrace fans i got on here last week. was wondering if the weld and carbon wrap repair would be worth it and last, or buy a new frame? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 If you like the geo of the Fans then I'd get it repaired Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George6512 Posted June 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Yeah it rides so good! but i think it will go in more places so it might be worth getting the whole back end done depending on the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 well no frames going to last for ever so its worth the small amount to get maybe 6 months extra life for a fraction of the a new frame 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inthesystem Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Jamie Moxon had a cracked Koxx, or whatever it was he got it wrapped and then BATTERED it for ages and i mean the lads kicking for big dropgaps! his was fine, on that basis i think its worth doing, youtube his video and youl see the full front end was done ive just had some old trialtech forks done and im really pleased with it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dngr2self Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 They were just protos. I think they're wrapping the trialtech forks more as a test than anything. As far as wether or not the repairs are any good then I hope so as I've just sent my frame to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
