A slow build since this is my 3rd frame. I will be brazing for the first time. Bring 6’5” freedom units it will fit me well.

You did a nice job on the proportions for such a large bike! It looks great.

First time brazing. The dropper port went in ok.
The bottle studs were a failure. Tried twice and the silver would not wick under and would just fall off. I gave up before I damage the seattube.

are the bottle bosses stainless? I haven’t accidentally tried to braze stainless without the proper flux, but that could be a problem.
Sure as sh!t they are. That must be the issue. Good call. Thank you.
So 56% silver with U type flux did not work.
What should I use?
I have nickel silver and bronze rods. Plus type U,B and G flux.

Someone with more experience might correct me here but I think you want to be using the lower temp type G flux for 56% silver on stainless, especially for bosses like that that don’t need much heat.
I just got a new torch to try the braze ons. I should have some updates next week.
Just need to figure out flux and filler.
