Rear Dropout Repair Suggestions

<< < (3/4) > >>

gjs:
The "easiest most efficient way"  is asked for,if he has to pay someone to do it it wont be worth it to get the whole dropouts cutout and remade etc,thats why I thought it would be easier to cut along the RED line  :daumenhoch:

retrogeezer:
What about getting a plate of metal cut to the same shape up to the seat and chain stays and then welding it directly on to the existing dropout?

If it is done neatly you will hardly see it and will also add strength.

Donker:
gjs, trust an engineer with experience, it wouldnt be much more expensive, to vastly improve the integrity of a bike which, do not forget, will be riden.
 :P

gjs:
Whatever you say Donker :daumenhoch:
