Lugged area is thicker metal and certain welding can give very localised heat that should not distort or damage the frame. Will need a repaint or will be fine to touch up. Cheap, but the welder needs to know what they are doing.

Or if you are worried or can't find anyone to do it you can get the head area replaced.

Carbon or Ti? That is the question.

Carbon. Ti is for cyclotourists and pensioners.

JB weld is pretty strong stuff. on one frame i built the tubing which the rear brake mounted to had been crushed by somebody overtightening the brake bolts. i had to re drill and then use jb weld to fill part of the previous hole. the rear brake is bolted to half metal, half jb weld.

also used it on a cracked water cooled exhaust silencer. took the heat and the water pressure.

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:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
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

> Quote text by starting lines with >

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

```

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

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
