Brazing 101: Adding Braze-ons to a Steel Bicycle Frame
Vložit

- Today I'm silver brazing a seat stay bridge, cable guides, cable stops, and water bottle bosses (a.k.a. braze-ons) onto my mountain bike frame-and taking you along for the ride!
I show a lot of the brazing up close, sharing tips about what to watch for to make sure you don't cook the joints and burn up the flux. I also share my thoughts about where I'm placing the braze-ons on the bike and why. At the end I discuss some tips for cleaning the flux off the frame.

Really, really, really like your approach to all this. I have only done soldering on copper pipe. I would like a few new braze-ons on my old touring frame. Your video has been incredibly helpful! I might even try to build a frame! Or two! Peace! (Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.)
So informative. You guys are great at making this stuff seem doable.
Thanks, bud! It’s not rocket surgery. It just takes practice and a little instruction.
This has become one of my favourite channels. Your style and perspective are refreshing, never a dull moment in your videos! 😎
Except when he talks too much
Joe, U are so valuable for the Community fr. !
Thanks :)
Upstate baby!
You, sir, are a badass. Thank you for filming these videos and taking the time to explain your process. My goal is to one day be able to braze bike tabs and stays. You are helping make that possible.
Thank you a million for ALL the great videos you've put out, they are seriously in depth. Keep up the good work!
Your videos are really informative and entertaining. I'm in the process of converting an old steel frame into a proper road/randonneur setup and the braze-on tips and tricks you're giving are so helpful! Keep it up and greetings from Germany :D
Great work Joe. It’s really coming together! 🤘
Heck yeah it is!
Nice camera work btw! When are you going to present the camera guy/gal? 😁
Oxygen tanks are HIGH pressure vessels....2000 PSI. Acetylene tanks are LOW pressure vessels...200 PSI. That is why the valves are different and why the fuel valve can be opened a 1/4 turn for safety reasons. The Oxygen tank valve has 'double action' seats, if you will....Fully closed OR fully open.
Thanks for clarifying that. That makes sense.
Great video and some very nice brazing. I think in both bronze and silver you can get rods that are meant for dabbing and rods that are meant for that capillary-action flowing type deal. For this you want the flow rods but what are the pros and cons of silver vs bronze ? I thought silver might be stronger and need more heat but not sure.
Great Videos... Informative and inspiring. By the way where can I get a disk brake welding fixture so I can convert my cantilever brake bosses to disk for both my forks and frames? Thanks...keep up the great work..
NICE！
Wow. Very informative. Where do u get you suplies for frame building?
your video is always helpful for beginner. can use TIG Welding instead of Brazing ?
Looking great, Joe. What kind of torch do you have. Seems small and easy to handle. Is that the same one you used to build frames before tig welding?
Yeah it’s a victor J-28. I did a whole video about my O/A setup for brazing. Check it out!
Hi Joe, have you ever tried/is it possible to TIG-braze these components instead of fillet-brazing as you are doing in this video? I’m thinking to try silicon bronze TIG-brazing or just TIG
I love the arms without tattoos
When 'cracking open' high pressure tanks ALWAYS have the dials pointing directly away from your face. I have seen dials blown by 3000psi - it ain't pretty.
Do you have a video of how you welded this particular frame?
Lots of those videos, look around my channel.
@@cobraframebuilding Most of your videos are not in order I want to see a single frame being built from selection of the tubes to the finish or neither name the episodes in a series where it will help me & others to view in proper way
REALLY enjoyed that. I live in France, and would like to get into frame building beginning with frame restoration and painting. Would it be possible to skype soon and you can fill me in on the basics of what I need?
If the brand of brazing material you are using has the word “cycle” or “bike” in the title you know it will be marked up 10X in price.
What gas ?MAPP? acetylene ?propane?
wow, wow, Spoilers... Thanks, CZcams. Back to part 5 or 6
Your torch tip is way too big, drop down to a 00 or even a 000, also get a smaller torch body, you have little control with that one you're using.
"Smoke these joints" hahaha shut up
