    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

When you braced your frame for the upgraded suspension......

did you put your fram in a jig to prevent distortion? Or did you weld it in and go on your merry way?

My plan is to do some bracing to the Mighty Buffalo's frame, but I would like to know from those who have gone before, just how much distortion do I have to look forward to? Do I have to spend the $ to make up a frame jig?
 
Ok...........

Let me rephrase....... When upgrading your supension, did any of you do any bracing to your frame? If so, did you put your frame in a jig, or simply weld the braces in?

I know Swanny did some of this, I thought Katman had added bracing too.
 
Hmmmm, good question.

I know of two people personally (and one that is nearing completion) who have braced their frames and neither mentioned a jig.
 
Well, I guess I'm going to try bracing without a Jig.


Thanks for the reply Robin!

I thought it was a front drum brake, guess I was wrong. :oops:

A liitle more about the bracing, if it turnes out the bike tracks to one side afterwards you can have it straightened at a specialised shop, they can also check a bare frame for alignment.
