Bent Dropout
« on: April 25, 2013, 11:51 AM »
The bottom part of the rear drop out on my Ripper is bent inwards slightly.  Nothing major, but I want to get it re powdered and decided to repair it beforehand.  What is the best way to straighten the dropout?  I'm sure aluminium cant bent back and forth the same way you can steel!  Any advice would be useful.  Cheers

Neil

Just tease it back gently with adjustable grips.
