Chainguard Repair

(1/3) > >>

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Not sure if it will work long term but used some Epoxy Resin repair solution to fix a broken section.  I added some micronised graphite to make it black.
I have some proper paint for flexible plastics that I will paint it with eventually.
Cleaned/roughed up the broken area & drilled it for a couple of strengthening pegs plus some saw cuts to help the bonding.

Interesting to see how you've done it there Ted.

Also made me think, it's funny how looking at something causes your mind to dig up something related but not commonly associated with motorcycle etc

Often ski base repairs are carried out by melting new plastic into damaged areas, referenced as "P-Tex" usually and available for hot gun applications https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/115878830369 and looking remarkably close in material type to flexible bike plastics.

Could be of use in this case, very routine in maintaining ski or snowboard to correct damage on bases.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I tried the JB weld version first but it would not set - managed a refund via ebay I suspect it was out of date so used UniBond version that is for harder materials.

Quite a few U tube videos of melting black cable ties as a repair - I do not have a suitable heat gun.

Nice work Ted. Looks like a good job done.

Laverda Dave:
The repair panel looks like it grew there Ted, nice job.
