It does make one wonder how many bow tuning problems might be due to bent or warped risers. That's the one real problem I have with machined aluminum risers and the big reason I always preferred forged risers.
thats strange. machined aluminum should be significantly stronger as it is melted and extuded, making all the inconsistancies and air in the metal exit. cast metal is generally much less stable. a bend in cast is catastrophic, a bend in Machined is repairable.
