Technology – Pre-Bent

Aluminum tubes do not like to be bent. They always spring back to the straight position. To solve this problem, we have two solutions:

  • We make the tube out of an aluminum that is more likely to stay bent than other brands of blades.
  • We cut the slot for the steel blade in the aluminum tube on a slight bend. The tube is straight but the steel blade is already on a slight curve.
  • This curve is slight and you will still need to bend the blade more to get the optimum bend to suit your radius.
  • However, you now only need to bend the aluminum tube a very small amount to get your optimum bend. This small amount of tube bending is not enough to stress the tube and the result is a blade that holds it’s bend for a much longer period. Some skaters may never need to re-bend their blades.
