Jayden Beckley Posted July 6 Share I recently took my bike to the shop and they took the bike apart to go through the frame and found that there were these small cracks which i wanna fix quite urgently before they get worse. The are near a pivot point and are about 1cm in length and isn’t cracked all the way through but I don’t know where i can take the bike for repairs.

droo Posted Sunday at 05:18 PM Share You don't say where you are, which makes recommendations difficult. Welding alu is a bit hit and miss. How long the repair lasts will depend on the correct grade of filler being used and how well the post weld heat treatment is done. There are a few folk on here that can do it though.

LFK Posted Wednesday at 01:27 PM Share Looks like someone put a saw to it rather than a crack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
