[RBW] bending Nitto struts
Any tips/suggestions for bending some aluminum struts for the Nitto Top Rack? The braze-ons on my new bike are fairly low (compact frame) and the struts on the top rack only come out parallel to the rack, and end up too high. So I need a 3o degree bend or so. Probably not rocket science, just clamp and bend, just wondering if others have bent these struts successfully.

I bent mine to get the Nitto R14 low and as close to the frame as possible. Didn't have anny issues.

Check out the rivendell videos on youtube - there is one on there of mark mounting a rear rack and he bends the struts like you'd want. it's cool. -sv -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
