Randomcascade Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 I had a minor spill on the way to work the other day ( I believe it is my inexperience I wet conditions), I slipped and landed on my right side, going at about 20mph I think. the only piece of damage that I noticed was my Handlebars feel strange. It feels like they are pointing slightly to the right when i am going straight, and when i stooped and had a look, it seems as though the wheel was pointing to the opposite side of the handlebars just slightly . what could this be ? and is it dangerous for me to ride it like this ? since I still need to get the bike back to my place.

Westbeef Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 Your handle bars are pointing in a different direction to your wheel. I straightened mine like you would a push bike. Front wheel between your legs and forced them straight using the handle bars. Don’t know if that’s a really bad way to do it, there is a proper way involving a undoing something but I’ve forgot Quote
megawatt Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 Loosen the bottom yoke clamp bolts, bounce the front end and do the pushbike thing to straighten it, retighten the clamp bolts.If this doesn't work, may have to loosen mudguard bolts as well. Quote
