So my previous "New" method of brazing is working well. But you can see here I overheated the flux just a little but it still wiped right off with a wet rag.
This is after I had heated the seat stay/drop joint and pulled it. I ended up having to pull it about 2 mm to get the wheel straight at the brake bridge within 1mm of center. I ended up having to turn the frame over and try and get all the silver to go back down in the joint because it all came flowing out when I pulled on it.
The cable stop for the rear derailuer, I was kind of practicing a fillet (it is really hard with 56% silver) it came out pretty well.
This is the other set of bottle bosses on the DT after wiping off the flux, you can see I didn't over heat anything and I just got a little silver build up on one tip. These were a lot easier than I thought they would be.
I also bored the seat tube for a 27.2 post and cut the slit in the seat clamp, I didn't do that great of a job on that so I might key hole it to clean it up. I also taped and faced the BB with my new Ice toolz kit... man it is nice having my own set of tapping and facing tools.
I may not be able to do much on it for the next couple days but saturday I plan on cleaning everything up and possibly building it up for a ride! cross your fingers.
