God damnit, that was an expensive ride.
Now I’m trying to find one identical to this so I can use it for parts. I just hope this isn’t a common issue with this frame and that I just got unlucky with mine.
Would’ve been an easy fix if the frame were steel - but from what I understand, welding isn’t really an option with these alloy frames.
Strain-stress for aluminum had a finite lifetime limit, so after X stress over the life of the part it will break, where steel is almost infinite as long as it’s below the per instance maximum
Someone aluminums!
