Creaking Vitus frame

[Masleeve]

I am looking at how to repair a creaking Vitus bonded
aluminium frame that has movement in the rear drop out.
Having read the odd post about repairs using araldite, I am
looking for any experiences/tips or even bike shop
recommendations.

Thanks in anticipation

They are repairable but I'm not sure Araldite is the
thing to use. Here's a link to a recent discussion in rbt
if it helps.

Thanks for that.

I will let you know how it goes. The posts on using araldite
were also extracted from google.
