Sydmeister Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Went out cycling this weekend an my friend broke his Raleigh 6.0 rear triangle. He was going into an corner and could not make the turn so he braked really harshly and snap.... I think the frame may have had a bit of a week point there from prior crashes.\ Is this damage repairable or will the frame have to be replaced?
Griffin Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Repairable... I just had a frame repaired by Grahame Kidson in New Germany, KZN. Unfortunately this is pretty far away from you If you dont come right somewhere else, PM me for his details
wild west mounties Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 My friend here Potchefstroom does carbon repairs and once he is finished you cant even see thatthere was any damage to the frame . I can send his contact details if you like.
Johan Bornman Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Perfectly repairable. Take it to Ab 1. Dont' sell it. That would be unethical.
