Flaccid forks..

Hello all,

About 2 weeks ago I took my forks to get them rebrazed because they were bent backwards, it was a mystery as to how they got bent in the first place as when I brought the frame I didn’t notice anything.. Anyway, they are bent again and I have had no front enders or anything generally 'taxing' to the bike.

I was slightly irate when I realised in my garage about half ago and i whipped the wheel off, put the bike upside down, sat on the bb shell and put my weight into bending the forks forward, and they bend forward, and stayed there... now I’m not totally sure but surely they shouldn’t be that easy to bend?!?!

Is it time to fook the forks in the bin?

Cheers, Lewis.

go up big hill and ride! if you die then the forks have had it.

A fork shouldn't be bendy. Perhaps they became this way by previous owners bending them back into shape following a crash or something. Bin them before you hurt yourself!

These were the responses I thought I would get.. I’m going to get in contact with the company who repaired them and see what they think, I would have thought they would of spotted stress marks on the crown where it’s bending while carrying out the work. Cheers for your replies.
