Perhaps a silly question - I have a laid back cinch post. Is it possible for the wizards at Moots to straighten it?

Thanks, Dave

Ever bent a piece of tubing one way, then back the other. Not possible without damage.

Ebay and repurchase.

Cat3 -

Now here is an opportunity presenting itself!!

I have a straight cinchpost (330mm length, 27.2, grey color) that is maybe 2 months old, and I wish I'd gotten a setback post - the rails are farther forward than I'd like, and a setback would put the post right in the middle of the rails.

Would you consider a trade? I haven't yet removed the post, but it was slathered with TiPrep before insertion. There may be some marks on it below the insertion, but I'm assuming your post is in the same shape. Trade possible?

Didn't Mootsboy post a pic of that on the old forum a few years back or was it Sat? Apparently she's 'holding' a setback post but I'll be damned if I could spot it. All I know is she's a blonde... lordy mama!
