So i brazed my first front triangle today, tinned the joints on the jig then finished on a stand. let the joints cool and then soaked them overnight to loosen up the flux, when i put the triangle on my BB tower to check for square, the distortion is considerable (3/8" at one point from square). Does that mean the joints got too hot? Were done in the wrong order, were not evenly heated? or a normal change in standard chromolly tubing and lugs?
The frame is a lugged 58 to give you an idea of the size, and the headtube seems to be the most out of round at this point.
