 Columbus TSX vs Reynolds 753
Where did I disagree that Passoni doesn't use a chamber? Quote me. What is odd is that you claim via quote that weld chambers are for "high quality bicycle frames". Then you go on to talk about... (1,097 views, 35 replies)

 Have you ever just bought junk?
JB Weld is a known hold-my-beer-Bubba solution, but in this case, it might actually work. It's an epoxy resin. It's black. It says ok to use on carbon. It's cheap. But I'd still try a dab on... (131 views, 6 replies)
