G-Line Head Tube Carrier Block Mount Repair
The G-Line was received with significant damage to the head tube carrier block mounting points. The original threaded insert had been pulled out of the head tube, resulting in deformation and distortion of the surrounding insert mounting surface.
The damaged area was carefully reworked and restored with minimal disturbance to the original paintwork. Due to the limited clearance between the head tube stopper and the insert protruding inside the internal diameter of the head tube, a conventional replacement insert installation was not feasible.
A custom-fabricated reinforcement plate was therefore designed and manufactured to restore structural integrity to the damaged mounting area. Specially modified inserts were also fabricated to accommodate the restricted internal clearance and securely fasten the reinforcement plate to the head tube.
The repair was completed successfully, restoring the carrier block mounting points and structural integrity of the head tube while preserving as much of the original finish as possible.
