Strengthening gussets should have the weld finish before the end of the metal, not a continuous seam weld as this transfers the stress point to the end of the gusset. In fact 1" welds around the gusset with , say, 5mm gaps in-between (no welds in the corners) provides the best strength with no transferred stress points.
I read this on another thread and it sparked interest due quite different designs on my old Handjob and my wife's Mk2 Soul (neither used in anger any more). Are gussets meant to act in tension, compression or both?
You can see thet the blue Cove has a continuous weld, while the Cotic opts for a two welds with a gap in between. Is one superior to the other?
