Hi Roosto!
I seriously don't think that a steel curved floor tom leg can be bent back to straight. These are formed in presses with a lot of pressure. Why are you asking?

You could actually go to Ace Hardware and buy some straight rod. I think they aluminum and steel. Pretty easy to cut to length. Can be polished to look nice. I think most of the ones that I have done are 3/8".

Mike’s correct
I used rod also and even put a tapered end and rubber feet.

3/8" Aluminum and steel straight rods available at Lowe's. Little rubber tips fit them too. I have made straight bass drum Spurs from them.

Straight aluminum legs will lighten your hardware bag.

That’s exactly what I did. I bought a 3/8” , 4’ piece of steel rod, cut it into three 16” pieces for a mini 10”x13” custom wrapped kids concert floor tom. Painted the legs black and used Gibraltar small rubber tips.
