Idle conjecture here, but how strong would a seat stay repair be that consisted of a sheath (ooh er) placed over the separated, cleanly cut section and held in place with hose clamps? The stay is hi ten steel and would be cut in the middle, hopefully at the lowest stress point. Just wondering how cheaply and easily this could be accomplished without welding a proper splitter in.
