Can't find a shop to straighten forks

[mocrawler]

Well crap! I need to find a curly-q . :shock: :lol:

I don't recommend the crash method. Your skull isn't the reason, there's a chance the front loop of the frame may bend instead. I've straightened more than a couple over the years with a long piece of pipe and the curlicue of a porch rail.

My friends and I used the crash-into-a-wall method many times over the years to straighten out bent bmx forks. It didn't always work, but it sure was fun to watch. :mrgreen:
Forget bike shops...they want to sell new parts and fixing bent stuff is counterproductive and a possible liability. Find a machine shop or automotive shop with a press, either manual or hydraulic will work. A couple of blocks of wood for support and press away. Work slowly, as it's easy to overbend stuff on one.
