Simple Question: I have the following arrangement as part of an animation, where the triangular endpeice is linked to the tube, bu what i need to do is get the endpeice to follow the tube when a bend modifier is applied to the tube as seen in the second picture. This should be easy i think, so theres probably a really obvious solution i am missing, anyone know it?

I'd try attaching the triangular piece rather than just linking it. Linking just maintains a position relationship with the pivot points of the two object, but if attached, the bend modifier would apply to both objects.
