I'm using a pair of aluminum alloy MTB flat bars as aero bars on my TT bike. They work pretty well,
but I'd like to give them a gentle upward bend toward the end.
Should I heat them, and how much, or cold bend them? Are they more likely to fail after being bent?
One thing that has to be to my advantage is that there is isn't much load on the portion in front of
the elbow pads.
I'm hoping some of you guys who know so much about materials might be able to help me out.
