I want to bend the top struts for my rack so that they come in from the seat stays and to attach to the top of the rack. How do I do this? or is there someone who can do it ?

These silver things?

Just bend them to fit.

If it's a round stay you can buy pre-bent versions. SJS cycles has them here

thanks all, I bought the pre bent tubus ones but the mounting gizmo is different. Also this is for the yepp child carrier rack who provide heavy duty round struts to be able to carry the weight of a kid. I'd like to use these to be on the safe side. I was wondering if there is anyone handy with a workshop that could custom bend the struts to fit?

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
