Fork lowers are usually magnesium or manganese... 

and should only be Brazed and not welded,

Brazing magnesium should be done at 723deg Celsius,

Brazing manganese should be done at 327deg Fahrenheit

 

Please post pics of the repair

 

 

Thank you for your reply ... one of the few that has sincerely tried to offer the best advice to help a guy out with a tight budget.

 

Things written in Italics are are for sarcasm, and those number are total made up. 

 

Apologies for misleading you.

sarcasm noted .... dangnabbit, I should be more awake when reading stuff. I did find it weird between the Celsius and Fahrenheit figures. But I assumed you knew your stuff, and you know what assumption did?

Anyway, dig your sense of humour, no harm no foul.

So far it is not an issue with the frame, (My budget repair seems to be holding up well) 

 

Are you still ridding your Ghost AMS frame????

Yes I am.

I need advice that helps a guy on a budget that doesn't exist that cannot afford a "Replacement Shock or Bike" ... I cannot always be begging for some donations, it's bad enough that I find myself in my current life situation.

If I could have done that, I would never have asked for any advice in the first place.

Only one person gave advice that said it cannot be welded, but should be Brazed as it's not Aluminum.

 

I've said this elsewhere - wishing the moon were made of cheese does not make it so.

 

The fix is the fix, and throwing money and time at something that isn't going to work is a waste of resources, which are apparently scarce. Sitting in an ER queue will waste even more.

 

Being moerig is not going to help you here. Accept that the advice, though not to your liking, is sincere, and nobody is trying to sell you anything you don't need. In fact, a few people have offered proper cheap and useful solutions.

I recently also damaged my front wheel @ Big Red Barn Blue/Black  Route.

I think that Blue/Black Route needs a more Enduro Orientated Bike. These XC Bikes just can't handle some of the more radical drops. Lucky 4 me the Repairs were not that Xpensive but having the QR snap in Half and the Rim Crack and fold were quite frightening.

Advice has been taken to heart.
