Reinforcing Dropouts

[Eat Joo Food]

Hey, whenever i get a pro, my dropouts bend in. the first week i got my 08 pro dropouts bent in. I was wondering if there is any way I can reinforce them on both sides without them bending? I searched and everything, but nothing.

its not that big of a problem actually.
it doesnt effect the deck in any way.

but, if its really bothering you, you can reinforce the inside of your deck with a steel strip or something, and do the same to the outside of the deck.

but, thats gonna weigh hella heavy. so have fun.

Some People say if u get New A spacers they wont bend your drop outs....

im not doing that on both sides just on the end of the deck, so i would have like 4 2" steel strips or some crap. where would i get the strips?
