looks cheap and nasty. Plus, since its made of aluminium and shaped the way it is, i would think it would flex and bend under strain.

the end brackets are made of steel its just the tube thats alloy,i think it would need a lot of strain to bend it,i think it would probably be fine.only one way to find out winkeye
