Does anyone have any good (or bad) experience with redirecting/realigning a plastic fender by applying pressure and heat from a hair dryer?!
I have a Velo Orange Campeur with SKS front fender that wants to take on an alignment of its own, leading to rubbing when riding rough streets. I'd like to be able to transfer them to a new (to me) AHH 650B, but don't want to bring the problem along with the fenders.
