Here at long last, I have not forgotten about you
Chainstay squeezing blocks, I filed them with the raspy part of a cheap 4-way file, which is a little domed so it helped to make a round divot. I made the inner one flatter because, well, I wanted the inside of the chainstays flatter.
And here's the resultant squashed chainstays. I probably could have taken better care of the outside to not indent it so much, but I think it will be just fine. My Colin Laing tandem is the same way from-factory and it looks fine.
