Here is a quote from their repair shop before receiving my frame.' Our cost for fixing a seat tube crushed by the FD clamp is generally $75-$150, depending on the extent of the damage.' Carbon tubing was bonded to aluminium lugs and while the frames were significantly lighter than their steel counterparts, it was a devastating mismatch of materials. Galvanic corrosion (and to a. If in doubt, take it to a carbon repair expert and have them ultrasound/x-ray. Maybe just a paint crack. Maybe goes all the way through. Bartender 2016 keygen. Try feeling around with a toothpick or something, see if the layers have separated there.

I'm not 100% sure if cutting it down will wreak your frame but from what I know you should be fine. Just make sure you file around where you cut internally and externally. Also keep the cut straight and clean because thats when problems will start happening. cheers. Imagine the horse as your bike LOL. >>> |

| Posted: Dec 9, 2009 at 9:10 | Quote | | I cut the seat tube on my 08 cowan an inch. I rode it like usual and had no problems with it. I believe unless youre running your seat post with only two inches or less in the frame you will damage it. other than that I dont believe it will do any harm. My opinion is if you do it right youll be fine, but do it wrong and your seat tube might start to crack and could lead to failure around the seat tube/seat stay area. Its your frame, experiment away. |
