I have a crack in the rear triangle of my full suspension MTB (Schwinn Rocket 88). Schwinn informs me they have no replacement parts left. Does anyone know the feasibility of having a small crack at one of the pivot points welded, or somehow reinforced?
If you don't have any luck with Schwinn you could try finding a good metal fabricator (not necessarily a bike mechanic) and ask them to help. There's at least one product (Alutite) that lets you solder aluminum at such low temperatures that it only has very minor impact (if any) on whatever else that has been done to the material. Epoxy glues like Araldit can also be made to bond very well with aluminum. It might be possible to manufacture something that fits around/over the crack and quite simply glue it in place.Originally posted by emerges
