Welding Bike Frame Repair. The low cost and high availability of the material combined with technical considerations such as heat treatment requirements make weld repairs of aluminum frames. The surface of the cube is covered in liquid water but the structure of the cube is still intact.
But sometimes it is not possible. We can undertake any repair on steel frames from the renewal of cracked or corroded bosses up to the replacement of tubes - check out the before and after gallery of this poor MKM frame right. Cut the weld and corroded section out just a half cylinder shape - then cut a piece of the discarded foot rest tube if you havnt thrown it dress it to the same diameter weld in grind off job done.

Aluminium bicycle welding is one of the most difficult of all welding procedures. Ex GP and WSB Engineer Alf Mossell now makes to order. Similarly bikes can have cracks on their frames too. Welding differs in that it actually melts the filler metal and the frame material so when cooled all three have coalesced into one solid.
