I cannot comment specifically on the Zink, but
typically chrome-moly tubing should NOT be brazed. 
The brazing material enters the grain structure and
weakens it.  It may look perfect but actually be weak.

Brazing, expecially with nickel-bronze, is an
excellent method for joining mild steel tubes.  Gas
welding, where the parent metal is actually melted,
can be used with either chorme-moly or mild steel.
