Top Tube Dent Repair
« on: May 02, 2017, 10:07 PM »
Done a quick search and have only found some older posts so just wondered if there is any newer ways of repairing tube dents.
What are the options?

Chrome is a shot so was going to powder it yellow.
Cheers.  :)

If you are going down the Brazing route make sure the opposite side of the dent is braced or the heat will distort the top tube.
