Title: ding
Post by: scott250 on August 25, 2010, 10:45 PM

What would be the best way to fill a small ding in a main tube?  Its a painted ox tubing standard 250.  I'm guessing I should raw the lot, rough it up a bit and pop some kind of hot metal in the ding and file it till smooth ;D . I will probly ride it a bit, but I hear frames can flex a little so it might not work and fall off at some point, or is that just bollox  ;D.

You could try and pull the ding out if it isn't too sharp edged.
