Hey, I don't know how but my Halo 2's edge broke. Probably while hitting something, probably a rail. But, I am not sure how to repair it, I thought of cutting the edge and put some epoxy but is it risky? What would be the best way to repair this!? Thanks.

Heat it, clamp it and rivet it would hold that thing together for a good while. Maybe head to a shop and get their opinion.

Take a poop
Get a spatula
Fill it in with said poop
Heat with a lighter
( may want to do outdoors)
Clamp it
Profit

gear talk might help,
anyways epoxying it and clamping it down might work

Just get afterbangs they may be slow because they're extruded but they're tanks I've had mine for 3 years and there's only top sheet damage

epoxy, a few old ski tips on either side, and c-clamps is what i would do.

Ah, armada edges. Only edges I've ever seen that have no relief to them (like the zipper profile on the side in the ski). Just a straight piece of crap metal. Not even a good grade of steel. There's no wonder I have a constant issue with them popping out on my AR5's. Maybe they've upped their edge game recently, but it was really really shit.

Ive had 2 pairs of afterbangs and both de lammed on the front tips when i had them. Nothing else on them broke though and they were a really fun ski

Bummer I want something that's just as flexy but not extruded because afterbangs are super slow

Or just buy line afterbangs. Those things do not break.
