Single bend ewww...

Just switch to a skunk2 shifter/**** combo, dual bend.

Most comfortable shifter i've ever used. Sit's just right.

I'd recomend dual bend if you're tall and don't like leaning forward to get into 5th gear... Other than that, a single bend works the same as the dual bend...

So what you're really saying is you never went to college or if you did you never took any types of materials processing classes.

Though in certain aspects of pressure (which shouldn't be applied while shifting) namely lateral (which in the case of a shifter would be STRAIGHT DOWN) would have an effect on the integrity of it, even the difference in that is so minuscule it wouldn't account for anything.

As far as I know, steel is stronger than aluminum... FLP, skunk2 and M Factory are the only aftermarket shifters I know of that are made of a steel/steel alloy...

This is the first time I myself have heard a negative comment about the skunk2.
