It'll probably hold up then. I got mine welded a while ago and it's
still fine. But I got a nimbus x frame now so when it breaks again i'll
just put the nimbus on.

welding it works. but to make it really strong what you so is drill a
hole in the bottom of the frame (below the tube) and weld it on the top
and bottom. not as good looking as before but is a lot stronger.

their are 2 types of unicyclist. ones who can suck it up and go for
things and ones who can't. guess which ones become good?

Welding works, but of course, getting a KH works better 🙂 .

i piece of the base frame broke off with it so it fit together like a
puzzle so it came out really straight😄

Ohh man I have seen to many of these threads. I think they can have a
bustedtorkeruni.com just for hte frames. I have broken 3 myself, and a
yuni frame (rust build up and big drops) YOur best bet is to reweld or
buy a new frame none Torker. Get a yuni or a Kh if ya have the money.
The cheapest strongest you can do is just buy a torker and replace the
frame with a yuni... THe unis are farely indestructable bu thte frames
are waaay to weak! But its great for drops, I have snapped a crank off
and bent a couple torker hubs but I do more and higher drops than most
lol. I need to stop for the sake of me knee :-D. But bro just grab a 40
buck yuni youl be a lot happier and your uni will be a lot lighter too!

Whee, I get to revive the broken Torker thread!

Mine just cracked tonight when it tried to wrap itself around a pole on
a failed coasting attempt. Ah well, it's lasted over a year, which is
suprising. I think I know what I want for Christmas now...

Do the 06 Torker frames have a flexy feeling to them if you try to flex
it? My 07 feels solid as a rock.

hehe
i know how you feel, but my first frame was an 05

I FIXED MY CRANKS(they had a slight slop to them for like 4 months)

i stuck a piece of a washer into the gap where the pinchbolt tightens,
on the opposite side from the axle, and tightened it until I was afraid
of breaking off the bolt. IT WORKED, it doesn't slop anymore... so if
you have that problem you can fix it like that.

Too bad! Looks like both of us had bad luck recently! Well I do have
a TIG welder if you ever need it, but sounds like you and your dad have
it covered.

Mine should only look like that for a couple more days! I'll just hold
off on the riding for a while, which will be a slight bummer. I
actually got the wheel to flip halfway around today on my crankflip
attempts, and I was able to hop from the tire back down to the pedals
for the first time.

we're working on the DX frame that spudman broke, the cracks are welded
and now he's making the sheetmetal gussets to weld on and make it
strong.

but meantime we modified his extra LX frame to clear the DX tire (with
a hammer) and spread the fork out so the DX hub would fit, he rode it
around just a little and said it feels pretty good
