Glorian Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Question in the title Not majorly bent or damaged just slightly askew after my accident the other day. can i get them bent back and will they be safe? If so can anyone recomend a company in colchester area thats reasonably priced. bearing in mind a new set is £90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klingelton Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 If the forks themselves are bent, i don't think they can be bent back. If they're simply twisted, you can loosen off the all the bolts (except the top 2) holding it to the yoke, bounce on your front forks a couple of times. this will twist the forks back into line. nip up the bolts to the recommended torque. job done.if they're bent - you will need to get a new one off ebay or the like. front wheel off, take the fork out, new one in. line up and bouncey!

Stu Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Forks can be straightened but it will cost you more than 90 quid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
