Hey all.
I have a line on a great TT frame in great condition for a fantastic price, but one issue:
the aluminum seatpost screw housing has come free from the frame. Apparently the frame was sent back to the manufacturer which used epoxy or some similar material to try and rectify this, , but not long after it's return the housing came free.
What are the odds of a DIY fix job working here? Perhaps a better cleaning of the inside was needed before adhesive was applied? ? A different adhesive needed? If the housing can't be stuck in place, maybe the seatpost itself could be be epoxied in place? The price on this is fantastic, wondering if what the knowledgeable people here think, or if people have dealt with similar situations binding carbon to aluminium.
Peace.
