Title: Phil and his great work
Post by: Pooch on April 05, 2013, 12:13 PM: Bought these 84 laserlite forks on rad some time ago. As you can see, pretty fooked up.
Looked as if someone had rammed the bike head on.

Had a chat with our man Sawsal & got these back.

Will the bend then straightening weaken them at all, assuming they're for a rider...?
