I'm not real familiar with tube bending, but it seems like that bender of yours makes some very tight radius bends. And it seems to do it with no kinks. What's the diameter and wall thickness?

You are correct, little to tight, but it's what I have, so.... It's a 3 inch radius with 1 1/2 OD ,120 wall DOM. The bender uses Hossfeld dies, but can only bend the 3 inch radius. Of course as soon as I bent those tubes I found a manual Hossfeld bender with a slew of dies for the cheap, hope to pick it up this week.

It was, but the bumpers were screwed. Looked for 5 years, never found any so.....
Wheels will be for sale or trade shortly,
