When is it time to retire a bike instead or repairing it?

    If you mean when to get rid of a bike, that’s when the frame breaks.

    If you mean when do you upgrade, then that’s just if some new tech or style has become more appealing.

      I have eFatbike with cracked frame that I’m about to try fixing by welding. People say it wont work but I don’t exactly have anything to lose here either so I’ll give it a try at some point.

        You have life and limb to lose. If you know your shit about welding, by all means go ahead. But I do not, so a cracked frame is a dealbreaker for me.
