Steve B. Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 I wanted to know if when anyone gets to a certain bending level if they train for the next level with cheat bends to help get a feel for new bar thickness.I am new at bending and have been useing my thigh as leverage to get the next level bar started then try to finish it off once it's past 90'degrees.If i don't cheat i can only put a small kink in the bar.Love to here your guys ideas on this.

Clay Edgin Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 That's exactly what I did before I could bend a red. I had prekinked 5/16" x 7" CRS bars in 5 degree increments from 90 degrees to 10 degrees and measured my progress by seeing which degree bar I could bend.
