Thanks for the feed back. A rounded upper is a better look. Several reasons i dont bend them. All revolve around strength. They would no doubt be easier to build rounding them. Make the bend, and almost half the welding. First reason i dont like to bend is that thins the tube on the outside of the rad. On thin wall tube, its a big deal. Second reason is that when you start stretching an alloyed tube it can change the integrity. With a higher tensile strength of anything, also comes a more brittle material. A wider spread on the uppers also make them stronger, as well as allows for the piggy back shock resis. clearance that other will not. I could go on, but you get the big picture. Not going to say i dont Moly or Ti tube, but if i can avoid it, i do for mainly those two reasons. Thanks!the new zbros are not as strong as the old ones. i have a set of the old ones and i have hit a ton of stuff and not had any issues. The alt impact look pretty good but i am not a fan of the shape i like rounded things. thats just my feeling im sure it has nothing to do with strength or any of that just personal preference.
