On my 2002 Rocky Mountain RM7 there is a large growing crack on the frame near the shock mount.....what can i do? Can it be welded? I dont think its under warrenty since im not the orginal owner but do they do crash replacements or anything?? Or am i just out a frame when this thing breaks?

It sucks, but there's not really anything you can do to repair the frame. Aluminum frames are heat treated, and theres a good chance that re-welding the frame will damage the heat treat.

I'm sure they'll help you out with a replacement frame if you call them up and (nicely) ask them what they can do to keep you riding a Rocky.

Otherwise, duct-tape and JB weld will do the trick.


























Not.

For the moral support thing, hit up SMT. He'll give you a big hug. If you're a young boy, he'll even do it from behind. If you're nice, MAYBE he'll even give you a reach-around while he's at it.

RM will probably be a little more straightforward with you.

I always find it funny when people make threads of their cracked frames asking what they can do.
A crack = Structural deficancy.

When a frame brakes you are going straigt to the ground hard. You cannot brace for impact and you will not know when it will happen.

You did a complete spinoff of what I thought you were going with this SMT shot. I thought you were going to tell the original poster to take notes from SMT to learn how to get sympathy from MTBR.
