Re: TIG Welder at Worlds

We had to have some welding done on our aluminum frame a few years back at the championships. They have all the equipment and knowledge to fix you right up.

Warning. Welding while you still have electronics installed can be catastrophic to them. The machine shop folks will warn you of this and in addition will not be held responsible if said electronics are damaged..

If you are able to, remove what electronics you can. We were not able to remove our electronics board due to time constraints, had to rush to the field as it was after the fix. Luckily we keep a majority of our electronics on Lexan sheets and we didn't have any damage.

Just be aware it certainly could.

Good luck at Champs!

Aloha!
