These pictures are for a forum report if this works. A couple of years ago, my Salsa Dos Niner broke and Salsa gave me nothing, despite it was the weld that broke. After trying several times, turns out, you can not re-weld Scandium and before I trashed the frame, I should try one more thing.


I shaped a piece of aluminum to fit inside the chain stay 


Drill and tapped the piece for M6 screws, one from the side through the drain hole and one from the back in a new hole I drilled. 


Here is a better view of the hole location.


Screws used.

I tightened it up and used a little JB weld to hold in place, next week, I will build it up enough to ride in the yard and see if feels solid.
