: The bar was supplied by Wenonah for one of my canoes and did not

: it back. I shortened the tubing some more to fit the kayak.

: Will it withstand the foot pressure? I'm sure the tubing is up to

: connection to the pegs. I guess I'll find out....

The Wenonah tubing works fine in the canoe, no reason it won't work in the kayak. If anyone is interested there are two tubes, one inside the other, so they compensate for the increase in beam as the bar is slid aft.
