Hello everyone !
I am in process of repairing a bike frame. The right aluminium dropout is loose. The insert is simply sitting inside the chain stay (see a picture here: I've seen that some people do what they call "diffusion bonding" where they add a layer of glass tissue in between the two materials. Any opinion on this ? Does it have any advantages over simply applying the epoxy glue without it ?
The bike is a Look KG56 from 1990 and I read that is it made of "60% unidirectional carbon fibre and 40% glass fibre" but I can't be sure.
About the adhesive, which one of these do you think is suitable for the job ?

[li]West System Six10: [/li]
[li]3M Scotch Weld 7271: [/li]
[li]JB Weld Original[/li]

Thanks !
