Curved Dropout

[Jimmy23]

hey my dropout is starting to curve inward, not too bad is there anything i can do now to prevent it from breaking?

 

[scootershamu]

if its curving dont do icepicks on it
it will eventually crack because of the strain it has on it from it being bent
u can take a wrech and make it staright again and cut a peice of aluminum and put it in between the drop out

basically id say your screwed...curving it back will only weakin it more...iwould suggest using this vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbaK34efaaQ but since its already bent...deal with it till it breaks or get a new deck and reinforce it so it dont happen again
