Re: [A/S] Hensley



aghhhh.. sorry I never could spell bicycle....

Last comment... welding the frame brackets to the A frame defeats one of the 
safety features and will not let the bracket break the mounting screws and 
slide back to save the hitch... There are tremendous forces involved and I 
have seen the strut turned into a U when the bracket did move... I don't 
want to see it again or what might happen if the bracket can't move....

Make absolutely sure that your safety chains are hooked up properly and 
don't trust anyone else to do one side while you do the other...
If the bar socket is prevented from moving from side to side, something is 
going to break...The Hensley warning is just not strong enough to get 
everyones attention...(negative marketing)
