Just noticed that creaking BB is actually a cracked chain stay. Frame is an inbred. Crack doesnt go all the way around yet.
Should I get it repaired at bike shop or get the fitter at work to weld around crack?
replacing the stay unlikely to be cost effective at a frame repairer. Perhaps get a patch welded over it?
Or replace.
inbreds are probably not worth reparing - buy a new one.
be wary of the fitter - bike tubing is very thin relatively - unless he is good he may just blow a big hole in it! obviously i don't know your fitter so this no smear on his ability! 🙂
thomthumb - he is nick named roger the bodger - enough said
How old is the frame? Try contacting On One as you may get a cheap new frame off them. I did when a similar thing happened.
Good welder fix that no problem
its only pig iron after all
(i have one)
Ge the fitter to give it a try (if free) but prepare to give on one a bell for a discounted frame for being loyal.
Safety element too.
