I need a chain guard repairing, bracket bit snapped which I reckon is a tiny tiny weld to fix. Anyone know a good spot based fairly centrally that could help?

I've seen sparks flying from a few places on chapel street in levy, no idea if they could help though.

Up that way Tues so will carry it with me and pop the question...

Other thought was maybe it'd be solder-able - the join is about 5mm by 2mm?

2 minute job with a TIG welder .. i got my frame done by a guy in Failsworth.. cheaply and he did a good job, but sounds an easy fix for anyone who knows their way wound a welding torch

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
