[Rhodes22-list] Backstay replacement/upgrade

[Bob Keller]

Joe,
If it is only a kink then don't over-worry about is.  I have lots of kinks in my stays because of trailering.  Just inspect it closely and look for frays in the wire.  If it is frayed then you should replace it.  If not, I would not worry tto much about it - just keep an eye on it.
