Hi Aaron,
I'm sure many of us can relate to this problem. I used J-B Weld or a
good epoxy. Put a little on the broken edges and build it up on the outside
of the tube and let it dry over night. Good as new,well almost. Now repeat
after me," I will release the clamp before I pull on the tube next
time."ha,ha Good Luck, Mark
