lastlegwarrior Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 i was riding last weekend and i wrecked my shee. Tweaked the frame a little, but only the part the seat sits on, you know not the main part of the frame just the back part where you grab bar connects to. Do you think i should maybe try to bend it back, if so what would you suggest. Or should i save up and get a new one, damn thier expensive. thanks for the replies.

RNBRAD Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 Torch and a metal pipe and do a lot of measurements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sredish Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 Thats a common area. You should be able to tweak it back if it's not ridiculously bad. If you want to tear it down, which you'd end up doing with a new frame, you could get it gussetted and PC'ed then not worry about it anymore.

Not much there to worry about really. And you can find a good used frame for about 3-4 bills or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racer Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 do a mix of sredish and CEJ. tear it down, fab a new subframe, then gusset it like crazy, and have it PC'ed. problem solved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CowboyBanshee Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 it shouldnt be too hard to make something/torch something back into place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fixitrod Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 If you can straighten it without torching it do that. It will be stronger for the next spill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
