I just bought 26.5 and am doing some cleaning and fixing up on it. Upon inspection I noticed the port stanchions were bent on the tapered post. I am able to get th bend out but the basen both stanchions are bent as well. The port stanchion bases are bent the same. The bends are on the outside middle of the base. Can anyone tell me if the bases or bent on purpose? All 4 of the basesbase have the same bend.
