Howdy folks, I bought a TA HB bag support front rack a couple weeks back and while trying to install it last weekend I broke one of the brazed joints. I'm a master of cold-setting and wasn't forcing anything. Looking closely there was a hole in the braze that allowed rust to propagate through the joint and it looks like the joint was being held together by the chrome. The joint isn't structural so I was thinking I could clean out the joint and use some JB Weld or similar product. So, what do you folks think? If anyone has any better ideas just tell me. enjoy, Brandon"monkeyman"Ives Waiting for rain in 72 degree sunny Santa Barbara, California.
