  1. Broken Subframe Mount 17 Apr 2013 17:43 Personally, I still won't trust that broken piece as it could have microcracks extending into the material from where it broke off from. the frame and can maybe crack off again past the welds.....anyway, the OP seems to…
  2. Broken Subframe Mount 17 Apr 2013 16:54 or find a dented 4th gen frame at a breakers? I'm trying really hard to not replace the frame. It would be a large pain in the butt to swap everything over to a new frame, plus mine is pretty solid with the exception of…

  4. Broken Subframe Mount 17 Apr 2013 14:48 I know there is a million ways to do this... what I would do, either cut (you can use woodworking tools to work with aluminum) a piece from some aluminum stock, or drop by a fab shop and find a suitable sized peice of…
  5. Broken Subframe Mount 17 Apr 2013 12:23 I couldn't find the piece yesterday but I only looked for a few minutes. It started to down pour on me so I left. I am going to give it another look today. I may need a metal detector to find it honestly. I did find a…
  6. Broken Subframe Mount 16 Apr 2013 16:29 The only thing I worry about is that there is not a whole lot of area there to weld. I am thinking that a welder is going to hate this project. First problem is to find that aluminum piece where the bike went down.…

  8. Broken Subframe Mount 16 Apr 2013 13:18 are you SURE its broken.?? one side was threaded other other side was not.. it had a longer bold with a nut.. WELD IT !!!!! its SO easy to do. the sub frame is mild steal and can be welded with a $89 gasless mig from…
  9. Broken Subframe Mount 16 Apr 2013 13:03 Yeah, after taking a look at it again this morning (I was distracted checking on friends in Boston yesterday :( ) it looks like I could be welded. I definitely did not plan to ride it with only the three mounts, I used…
  10. Broken Subframe Mount 15 Apr 2013 16:51 Yeah that looks like the only option but unless you can find a donor bike and change the frame. I am trying to avoid changing the frame just because of how much extra time/effort it would take. I should be able to…
  11. Broken Subframe Mount 15 Apr 2013 16:36 I hadn't even thought of that as an option yet. Its a pretty good idea. I think I would need to tie it into two points to make it truly rigid. Maybe even some how attach it to the broken piece...
  12. Broken Subframe Mount 15 Apr 2013 15:23 I need some opinions on this. The top right sub frame mount on this bike was broken off. The other three mounts are solid but the frame still has a little give when mounted by three points. As far as I can tell this…
