  • I've been running my Omnium tubeless for the almost three years I've owned it, and the majority of that time has been with steel bead non tubeless Schwalbe Big Ben Plus's. 😁

  • Rob the welder - can he fix it?

  • Rob the welder - yes he can.

    Agricultural but it looks pretty sturdy. Well done Rob.

  • Yay!

  • I rattle canned it with enamel but did the worst job ever. Can't be fucked to fix it though. Looks pretty Mad Max now.

  • That is awesome!

  • I'm chuffed, that's for sure. Thought it was a write off. Can report it rides differently. Feels stiff again. I was wondering where all the flex came from. Also the click I could never figure out where it came from is gone now.

  • Yesssssss!

  • Awesome!!

  • I love it when a plan comes together.
    Also a contender for fastest execution of a project on here.

  • Well. I need to get my shopping. Really hit home how much I use the thing for small errands.

  • I know the feeling. I use our bullitt for commuting as well - I did not enjoy having to resort to the car, when the gear cable frayed and stuck me in 4th.

    Just a reminder to not leave your battery charging overnight/unattended etc and so on.

  • nicely saved! Cargo bikes are generally to over built to let die

  • 'The click' now im wondering if my bullitt has a crack. I've been presuming it's a bearing but considering it happens more often when loaded I need to do some checks I think.

  • Well done that Rob! You should have got him to chuck in a top tube whilst he was at it... however the repair looks more than decent enough though.

    I wonder how many step-through Douze’s have failed near here?

  • He was able to make a gusset on the fly, all while carrying out the repair in my garage and keeping the price at around AUD250, so roughly GBP140.

    Adding a top tube would have meant I'd have to remove the whole steering assembly, bearings etc for him, it would have taken longer and added a whole lot of extra cost. Plus he would have had to take the bike away and bring back because to decently miter and shape a top tube at the right diameters etc would have been tricky on-site.

    I wonder the same thing myself actually. Looking at it, the design really needs the gussets there.

  • Great stuff! Bike saved plus many $$$$

  • This is a rather moot point. All the LI battery fires I've every read about are from cheap imports. If you're using Bosch/Shimano etc I don't think this is a particular issue. That said, I do unplug the charger once battery is charged (unless it's still not charged & past my bed time!)

  • What if you’re using Bafang?

  • Asking for a friend…..

  • Agreed. It would have cost a lot more (and time & effort on your side) and you would be without it for longer, plus I dread to think what spray job you would have done on the top tube! ;P

    Main thing, it’s repaired and stronger than when it came out of the factory.

  • That’s great, I’ve seen a few UA families with a similar setup over the full on canopy
