[python] Re: Annealing

Hello,

After reading the posts about annealing the alloy cranks for bending, I took a somewhat less scientific approach. I'm not sure if I actually annealed the alloy or not.

I put the crank in a vise and just started to heat it slowly with just a propane. I used a section of tubing large enough to fit over the end of the crank and I heated the crank just enough to allow me to bend it slowly using a lot of slow steady pressure. I don't think I actually reached the point of annealing the alloy.

I'm building two bikes concurrently, one is a python and the other is a LWB chopper style recumbent. I'll have pics to share in a day or so.

Michael
