Hi all,
My Canyon Ultimate AL frame cracked. Just at the rear brake cable port, in front of the seatpost.
It's about 5 years old and as I got it 2nd hand there's no guarantee. So I'm hoping to get the crack welded up.
Anyone know a good TIG welder in London? Preferably central, north or east London?
Cheers,
Matthew

Here's the crack in detail - hard to see but about 8mm long

I would try http://www.bikefix.co.uk
On lambs conduit, they do brazing in house not sure about tig and I see from there website that carbon and aluminium repair are now an option. So it's likely they do.
If not, I'm sure they'll point you in the right direction.

i've just posted a similar question - let me know how you get on! my frame has a worse crack and is worth far far less.

Bikefix asked me to send pictures to see if it's something they can fix. Fingers crossed...

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

> 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.
