Bent frame

[TUG]

The 'Death bike' is getting closer, but its not right, the frame must be bent from my impact.
Just wondering if anyone knows any companys with Jigs or would it be cheaper to buy a frame?
Also what do i need to do to prep it should it be jigged?

It certainly won't be cheaper to buy a new frame, but it is not usually advisable to straighten a bent aluminium frame.

If its steel then its no problem. If I were you I'd be on the phone to some frame straightening people and ask them.

That's crap

Where's it bent?

Hi

2nd hand frame has probably also come from a crashed bike so a fair chance it is bent as well. Their main selling point is to give a stolen bike a new identity.

There are places that can check them and depending on the damage straighten them

Try John Warrington near York

Srad frames are cheap. You'll probably be able to pick one up for about £200. What makes you think its bent?

ok, you go and get your frame jigged where it will work harden and be much more likely to crack under general use.

if the advert says its straight, thats legal grounds. if it isnt, money back.

my SRAD went through hell and stayed straight. it smashed head on into a foot high kerb at about 30, then another time i flipped it at about 40 and it cartwheeled down the road a bit.

after all that, passed an MOT. its only the wheel alignment that matters after all.

[hmmmnz]

i would go with a new frame,
not only the cost is alot less,
its also piece of mind as well,
although you seem determined to use your fucked frame, im sure you'll do what you please anyway, but think of the kittens

Hi

Depending on how bent the original frame is I would prefer a straightened one to a 2nd hand one.

If crashed the chances are the 2nd hand frame is a bit bent as well (and good luck trying to get money back through Ebay in that case, let alone covering your time plus any chassis bearings you waste rebuilding it to find it is bent).And it could be that the replacement frame is straight because it has been straightened (and even brand new bikes might not be perfectly straight).

Checking a frame to check it was straight cost £80 (a couple of months ago). Not sure how much to straighten it if it needs it. It isn't just important if the wheels are in line (you could pretty much bodge that with the chain adjusters). You could twist a frame so that the wheels moved out of line as the suspension compressed.

A lot more work to do a complete strip down to transfer everything over rather than to just straighten a frame.

All the best

Keith

Why am i a retard matt, please explain, The bike means a bit to me, i want to keep it and run it, not ruin it like you normally do. Although your R6 will actually look nice. I could risk getting a frame from ebay but i doubt i'll get anything better. I'll get its geometry checked (free! i know you just jizzed right?) if not dirt cheap or from another SRAD, It won't be hard. Calm down... and dont act like a retard, its boring.
