Would araldite hold a disc brake mount on to a frame or fork?

the right grade, with the right application conditions would.

unfortunately the right conditions are rarely achieved.

not the grade you buy at B&Q either.

so in summary; yes but NO.

WTF 😯

Tries not to laugh too hard.

It’ll be fine as long as you don’t brake. 😆

If the mount wrapped around the stay or fork leg and there was enough mating area, I’d feel confident enough. If it was a flat joint there’s the risk of peeling forces and then I wouldn’t feel safe.

am thinking that stuff I got from Screwfix cured atop a radiator?

You’ll be fine 😆

NFC IMHO

i would rather ride knowing i only have one brake than think i have two, to suddenly find i only have one

al are you taking the piss or really retarded?

Hmmmm well it’s only under compression and a bit of torsion right?

Ralph like you have a clue!!??

You mean it plugged a small hole with not that much pressure behind it?

Bit different to the sudden and quite large forces envolved with braking.

Still give it a go and see what happens. 😆

POSTED 4 MINUTES AGO # REPORT-POST

and you obviously do because you had to ask on here

stu – think he means glue it on and let the ehat of the radiator cure the glue

No stu as if I’d plug a rad with epoxy 🙄

your response speaks onlY of your own ignorance!

Sorry i can’t understand the scotish accent. 😉

Jeez even RobJ gets it (no offence Rob).

well tbh you lot on here are only well informed enough to give this level of advice

LOL, if you do please where a helmet cam the first time you take a ride on it!

Yeah stu colour Qs are for noobs!

Get some some carbon cloth too and wrap mount to fork leg borrow some kind of vacuum packing thing and you should be golden.

All this goading is getting to me.

I’m being bullied!

Carbon cloth? Where from?

Editing confusion. 😆

coloured epoxy with a different accent is bound to do that.

No stu as if I’d plug a rad with epoxy

I’ve repaired rads with Araldite.

I also once repaired a crankcase with it. Lasted two seasons too. 8)

al – seroius qs now:

what fork?
whats it made from?
how big is the surface area of the mount?
how can you get it dead on square?

Edited for being thick. Doh.

Rob various, various, dunno, of course!

SBZ back under your bridge 🙄

ah just realised what this is for – the phat bike fork?

why bother zip ties work fine if it is post mount an dyou stick at 160 mm. Odd bot of rubbing but it does the job

personally I would peg it with dried wooden stakes – the ones you are saving in case you meet TJ shuld be ideal- into the holes then hope the glue expanded the pegs as well. Failing that just use holy water to exapnd the pegs
HTH

Uh? No.

Heh LOLOLOLOLOL drunkyard!

The idea re the bolts is quite good tho.

use JB weld, they glued a V8 engine together with it and then used it for a racing season as a test it’s miracle stuff!

I actually know someone who built a bike using the industrial version to mate carbon and aluminium tubes together for a project and it’s still in use 7 years later!

Just weld it or get it welded.

No, because it is not strong enough in shear compression or tension. The fact you don’t see bonded caliper mounts in the industry is a fairly good clue. Plus Araldite is only heat resistant to 120 degrees, it’s not a product to be using near any source of heat.

And what a silly question. I’m guessing it was posted for amusement.

Not at all waderider, do you really think your frame gets up to 120?

Please!

No cynical-al, it’s a matter of factors of safety.

Surely a hose clip around it would be fine.

Didn’t Luke bodge a disc mount out of Meccano?

Go for it. What’s the worst that’ll happen?

Will you have another brake.
