Ok. Thank you. That all makes a lot of sense. Definitely don't want to bend the frame. I looked at the bike and the rearset was already threaded through. So, now the both the inner and outer layers are bent in. If I bend it back I'm worried about fatigue and cracking next crash, but I hear you about not wanting to transfer the forces further into the frame. The aluminum bolts and folding pegs seem necessary. Thanks for the help!
