One side of my RGM lug has opened up presumably from starting. Can this be heated and closed to original size?
Thanks for speedy reply. Bike is basket case hence guess at cause. Thanks again.Hi Tug,
The lug will not open due to starting due to the mounting for the stand being on the bottom fork?
this is more likely to be caused by trying to undo the spindle nut with a spanner
The weakest part here will be the hole where the chain adjuster sits.
You need to strip this back and crack test.
When heating & re-forming, make sure the adjuster is in as well. (otherwise you probably won´t get it in afterwards).
I´ve seen it done a couple of times with no detrimental effect to the fork (although be carefull with the heat)
