A dint is a dent on a frame that is otherwise in mint condition.

OK, enough puns. To the OP: What is the frame material? Where is the dent located? How deep and how big? More details are needed before anything but jokes can be provided. |
Pictures?

Bondo.
Snow White body putty is my choice. Somehow from the title I knew this post would make my day. |

This is a good thread. I want to thank you all for making it happen.
|
Without seeing the dint, it's hard to tell how bad it is. For safety's sake You might not want to ride the bike before you can get someone from the bike shop to take a look at it.

dint' is a dent with west virginia accent!

OP; How big in this dint (in relation to the size of a coin, dime, penny, you know...)? If it's on the downtube, partway between the BB and the head tube, it is most likely an MTB that got chuncked on a rock you didn't quite make it up (that's how I got most of mine :eek:). Chances are the frame will eventually fail in that area. How thick are the walls of the tubing there? What frame (model, year) has this happen on? How has the frame been riding previously? There could be time but I'd start budgeting for a new frame. This kind of information could help. |
This sort of thing CAN be fixed ... most often by dint of one's own effort.
You're welcome. |
I forgot this. Probably nothing will happen to the frame ever. It nobody u know can fill it with metal just put bondo to it and retouch it. Done. I have seen weird dings and dangs and dungs in road frames and many of them never failed where the tube was smashed by a rock or grabble. No experiences with MB frames but if the problem is 15 off the bb nothing should happen ever. I would bondo it, sand it and retouch it.
Thanks. |
