Subject: [CR]Re: Dropout Straightening

The last time I did this to a bicycle, i used an enormous 15" crescent wrench and a piece of rubber or something to cover the dropout. If you carefully tighten the crescent on the lower dropout with some sort of cover, you have a nice flat metal surface against a nice flat metal surface and there is no chance of marking the dropout.
