Default aluminum risers.........
Are aluminum risers fine? Found the risers i want for my fxdb, i was just a little bit leery of aluminum. i am sure the company builidng them did lots of testing and wouldnt produce a unsafe product but I was just wondering.

I used to supervise in an aluminum foundry. That crap can be made as strong as steel if they want it to be. Nothing wrong with aluminium
