it would do all those things. For me it would be a pain if there were
loads of hills. Even with it geared rather low 40x16. Gearing has been
my biggest challenge. Finding the spot that is fast enough on the flats,

It depends a bit on terrain and load. As Kelly noted getting the gearing
right is key for terrain. I'm also riding 40x16 on my QB and it works fine
for modest hills, but I might go down to 40x18 for the summer just so I
don't get as sweaty on my commute!

I did this exact procedure a couple months ago. I bent the round part of
the struts maybe 1/2 inch above the hole. I used a wood-jawed bench vise

If you look at the original platrack struts they are bent right at the
edge of the flattened out part with the whole in it (as opposed to the
round part where folks frequently bend em).
When I adjusted the angle on one of mine I used a crescent wrench with
some cardboard from a tube box to protect
Hammer banging worked for me when I bent the struts a bit more on my
