Got a broken chain stay.
Really want to keep this bike.
Can this be steel welded buy a bike mechanic with welding skills?
Do we do this to older vintage bikes when this happens?
I'll assume that this welding will make it perfectly structurally sound.
What is the history of these actions?
I have a decent trek bike I believe a 2010 model. I’ll get a picture when I’m home. I got it as a gift it came with the property. I have been riding it constantly for about a year. Everything works fine I’m trying to figure out what maintenance to replace first. The tires or chain derail hanger? Wire/housing. Brake pads?
Hi I have 0 experience in regards to bike repairs. I am currently looking to buy a second hand carrera virtuoso road bike for €80 that has a punctured tire on the bike and a flat front tire. I was just planning on replacing those but now I am being told that - "I just got the bike out the shed and tested the brakes and gears etc. brakes are perfect but the gears seem off. The buttons when pressed won’t change gears. I believe this is due to the back tire not being on correctly. If it’s not that it’s a wiring issue and you’re looking at a £15 odd fix." and I just wanted to check if this is true. Any help appreciated

I’m going to start this with saying I’m literally clueless about bikes and need some help. Bought this used GT mountain bike for my daughter TODAY, took it for a ride, shifted gears and then this piece just snapped off (I presume the shifter??) literally just busted right off and is now completely broken. Is this repairable with a new part? Can you even get parts like this? I’m so disappointed as is my daughter. Please help!
