Are Kmart ties ok?Drill the ends of the crack then drill both sides beside the crack in 4 places. Use cable ties to hold it together. Use good quality cable ties though.
No, need to pay extra for unobtanium ones.Are Kmart ties ok?
I recall some bloke telling you all the commy’s from that era crack. He’s not a ‘told you so’ type luckily.Exactly how shit is this crack
I got a bargain on a meta55, it's well worth the price for the components alone so I'm not super phased by this. I was going to pass it along to a friend, now I'm thinking I might be doing him a disservice by inflicting this on him.
So do i:
A) Pass it on for cost, let him know it's a bargain but that the frame might not go the distance. Enjoy it for what it is while it lasts
Or
B) strip it down and use the bits to rebuild my 2001 tracer for its 20th birthday, and sell the frame on Facebook for 4 times what I paid stating the crack is an easy fix but I don't have the time

Your over thinking it - I’m sure you will have a sticker from some company somewhere (Pushy’s MTB Direct something) can’t see the problem = no problem to seeExactly how shit is this crack

Oh shit, I never thought of using a structural sticker! what kind of dodgy seller doesn't go there straight away? I've got to lift my game...Your over thinking it - I’m sure you will have a sticker from some company somewhere (Pushy’s MTB Direct something) can’t see the problem = no problem to see
Add in plausible deniability - “The sticker was there when I got it” - “why would I look under the sticker?”Oh shit, I never thought of using a structural sticker! what kind of dodgy seller doesn't go there straight away? I've got to lift my game...
