little lost how mini's and a crack stay are connected, but as to your question.. yes... send em to Hope for a service!

Its steel, you can get that welded up. Kona? Pleny went there and are still in active service.

You can easily totally disassemble hope brakes. You pull them to bits, clean, replace any knacked seals, put them back to together and bleed.
Also get a bike that isn't made for the road

Made for the road
That's my circa 16 year old Kona, sniff sniff.I've no idea where I can get that welded back up! Know anyone in Munich
Oh, and I need the disc brakes because...my parts bin frame has a disc only frame and some mini's not used for an age
P.S. Well spotted anotherdeadhero. Who can guess which model

'95 Cindercone?

Yeah, they do that.
If you're the original owner and it's not resprayed you may be able to get a warranty replacement as they had lifetime warranties in those days.
No idea what they'd replace it with though.Posted 2 years ago # -
Well the bike expo was in Munich last year, so there must be a framebuilder in the city somewhere. I'd go asking inthe local bike shops.
1993 Kiluea? Mech cable stop and colour gives her away as earlier than a '95.

I think that the metal u-clip on the chain tensioner is supposed go around the chain, doubt it would have stopped that happening though

Yep,
But the (BMX) chain is to wide...at least my brake cables are the correct length and my patio doesn't need pointingPosted 2 years ago # -
Any advice on the warranty?
