Title: Is it possible to straighten bent forks ?
Post by: chewy on June 27, 2009, 08:47 AM

Is it possible to straighten bent forks?
and if so will it weaken them ?

Was in the woods this morning trying some of the jumps
that the local kids have made and and got to cocky
and went over the biggest jump , lost control on the landing
and went straight into a tree  ::)
thus resulting in bent forks

Chewy !
