I agree. Maybe ok for sidesteps but would not take much of a bump to bend them on a tree or rock.

What tube :/ it's 20mm solid bar with 4 support bars and there for the shorty gf

Dr_evil · Mar 10, 2013

Well you didn't put that originally did you

most people just use tube instead of bar

Solid bar will still bend though!

A solid bar is EASIER to bend than a hollow tube. because area 1 is Zero. ... of the wall thickness or the ratio of the inner diameter to the outer diameter. ... but the hollow tube deflects less under the same load, than a solid bar.

Yep!

I'd calculate the stress it'll take but I don't have my spec sheet on me, think steel is 200 GPa youngs mod but need the other values and formula too as I cant remember it off the top of my head

I'm sure I can either weld a new bit on if I do bend them but tbh don't plan on bending em there only steps for the mrs really
