hi everyone, while trialing last weekend my chain snapped , i was going pretty fast between sections and it whipped up under the

swinging arm and broke off the chain tensioner arm bracket thingy, it has left about a quarter of the thread. anybody know were i can get it

welded/retapped . or if any of your spanner men can do it for me. i have taken the swinging arm off ready. oswestry area.

local bike shop cant do it and doesnt know any one who can. eternaly greatful for help and advice.

Have you tried Andy Licence up at the bike shop at Hengoed. Ask for Andy. I'm guessing it was Mikes Bikes you already tried?

If not you could maybe try asking Fil Poli at Condover Forge Not his core business, but I know he can weld two carrots together with a cigarette lighter.

Wasn't an IRIS chain was it?

No probs, P.S. it wasn't a typo, it really is Fil, Filipo the italian stallion

I know he's pretty damned busy normally but may be able to manage something for you if you give him time, worth a try.

Just make sure that if you or anybody you know needs any kind of gates from garden to massive automated fangle dangle things that you give him a call. He's good.

i just had a call back from a chap in gobowen that does magnesium welding, he tells me that magnesium "explodes a bit" when you weld it.

he says he will do it for 25 quid cash. im gonna take his offer. thank you for your help.
