fixing it with a jubilee clip is a proper structural bodge
It's also supported by the Thomson Internally. I know neither will prevent the inevitable snap, I'm just hoping to stay alive when it does happen.
It's done a few 200+ mile journeys since and I've only been brave enough to have a look under there once.
Just tryna get my money's worth out of it since the crooks that damaged it were no help.

Should be plenty of support in that area, might get away with it longer than you think... not like a downtube, although this is probably one of the finest bodges ever:

Sorry to hear about the crack, fixing it with a jubilee clip is a proper structural bodge though & mudguards that can be completely removed with a lighter is a novel concept, top work
