Ridiculous Fabrications Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 hey guys im new to the forum iv heard lots of good things about bansheeHQ. i picked up a frame last week and plan on cleaning it up a little bit and welding some new tubes in. could anyone tell me what size moly there using to replace some of the ugly tubes in the frame already. from a visual it looks like possibly 7/8 - 1" tubing on the stock frame. would 65-75 thousands thick moly work or are u guys using thicker tubing? also i thought about doing a subframe which im guessing i would use 3/4 moly with 65-75 thousands wall? any help appreciated. thanks guys.

locogato11283 Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 What are you going to be doing with the frame? Duning, dragging, MX? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome. <br /> 2nd , it's great you informed yourself via the search function. <br /> 3rd , finch doesn't build anything but time bombs. Haha. <br /> I'm using .065 wall tubing but a lot of guys recommend thinner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridiculous Fabrications Posted December 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 ya thinner would be nice but i still want my bike to be strong you konw. i like to ride the dunes mostly but there may be a few times when i go to the powerlines and some of that terrain is not that smooth. main reason im doing this is to make the frame not so damn ugly. but i figure id use strong tube to make up for the lost material im taking off. then again my buddys going to paint it so i think it should look clean. any suggestions are greatly appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
