Follow up to broken frame - seat post clamp
The other day I came across a sort of seat post that installs over the carbon fiber "seat post" that is part of the Trek Madone frame. Replacement "seat caps", as they are called, are sold by Bontrager. As they are intended for the Madone, Bontrager makes the replacement from carbon fiber and they are, I though, a bit pricey. While this isn't going to solve the problem it might be a possible way to repair the frame. It should be fairly easy to graft a seat tube extension onto the broken frame, perhaps using an internal sieve to join the frame and added tube, and end up with a sort of "stub post" similar to the Madone and then a sleeve, with a clamp on each end could be used to attach a somewhat shortened seat post to the repaired stub. Assuming the frame is steel, silver brazing would be sufficient to hold everything together. -- Cheers, John B. |
