i was just thinking.....
has anyone rienforced their dropouts and it was still cracking....
well i thought if you got an alemineum welder you could weld the cracks and fix it?

has anyone ever done that??

If it cracked it's probably because you didn't reinforce it perfectly so there was still a bit of flex in the deck, so it flexed and cracked until the point where the reinforcements stopped it.

For the question, reinforce it and you'll be fine.

well, welds create weak spots, so the best thing u can do is reinforce it
well actually, even if you reinforce it, it won't stop cracking.
I welded a crack on my pro-model once, and that deck lasted for another 5 months till it snapped at front instead.
