Thanks for reply. To be honest i didn't had a clue about dropouts, aye I'll weld a patch over the crack. Thanks for the info

Hello my childhood mountain bike has got a crack on the rear dropout weling. (Left picture) The dropout actually bends left and right with my finger. This crack was confirmed when i stipped the paint for a respray. What's my options? I would like to change to a better looking dropouts as well...

Hi,thanks for the reply. I just tried 4x and just doesn't look right,well. . looks a bit weird. Anyway.. I just disassembled the whell (again) and gonna order shorter spokes to make it 3x cross. The spokes I've got now and original are 270mm. Gonna order 263mm spokes ,as currently sticks out...

Can't remember really but this cant be right

Thanks Thanks gonna try that way now. If that doesn't work ,I'll accept defeat and factory wheels were built using voodoo magic and I'm gonna order spokes 5mm shorter

What you mean?

Thanks gonna try that now

I'll try ,thanks
