Thanks for responding!!! It will definitely help....Should be fine, but depends on where you weld and how it's done.
Too much heat might compromise strength.
I have had no problems whatsoever after welding front rack supports to my Specialized HardRock fork.....fairly extensive weld area on outside of tubes.
Those fork tubes are pretty wimpy steel, I don't think I'd trust it to weld to.Wondering if anyone knows if the fork legs from a Fito triple tree fork are strong enough to weld on. Basically using those legs a part of a leaf spring fork.
I have other options but I want to keep my disc brakes ! Thanks
