Rate my noob braze

So, I had a disc tab brazed onto an old 26 frame, as it has mega clearance for 27.5. The guy did a good job. However I had already bought some silver and a torch (about the hottest non-mapp torch) I could get. So, I decided to add a brace, cut from a piece of old steel fork. First time I have tried anything like this - thought it was easier than adding fender eyelets etc as the piece sandwiches into the triangle by design.

Really, I would like to be able to add eyelets, move brake bridges etc, to make nice frames with small clearances more practical.

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.
