Hi
Do you guys know any machine shops around Charlotte, NC that can repair bent forks? Or any where I can get a used left fork as that's what need. Thanks

Just out of curiosity, what is wrong with your original one?

I would just try and find a used one or buy a new one. I have not heard of anyone straightening them up and most importantly guarantee that they were true.

I had hit a pothole going around a corner, all damage is on the left side at least, had insurance issues so I'm paying out of pocket. The smaller tube is slightly bent, its not bad and I only noticed it when taking the bike apart.

Been looking for used, I honestly cant afford a new one at this time, the few used I have seen are already bent which of course isnt helping, I will of course keep looking I decided I can live with a dent or two and scratches as long as I can ride, and Ill just replace as I go.

I saw some forks on Ebay last night (one was Pinwall Cycles) don;t remember the other one, I think it was in Denver, CO. Hope this helps.

don't try to repair it, can never be right after that

only buy use if someone here is parting bike out for money or bad engine
or
you will be buying another bent fork

maybe better to hold out till you can buy new

good luck
