Aluminium welder

uncle-mofo · 2011-07-20 00:54:20

I have a crack in the swingarm of my Downhill mountain bike and I'm looking to get it welded somewhere around the town. It's a fairly high stress area so I'd be looking to get a decent job done on it and I wouldn't mind travelling if it meant I was getting a quality job. Where's the best place for me? Any recommendations?

i hear duck tape and cable ties are great for that kinda fix haha

sp heat transfer should be able to do it for you if there still in business but with welds like that for your own safety and manufacture warranty look into getting a new or replacement frame or something,,,im sure if the weld was to fail again sp or the welder wouldnt like to be liable for it
