London bike shop able to align fork (ideally north of the river)

As above - the wheel is closer to one fork blade whichever way round it is placed in the fork.

Is this an easy fix? How clued up does a shop need to be to do it properly?

I am due to be riding London > Malaga in two weeks so not great timing!!

It will cost approx the same to cold set it as to get a second hand pair of forks that haven't been crashed or damaged . Whats your appetite for risk on a transcontinental bike ride?

It is incredibly minor to be honest - more worried about breaking a spoke and it hitting the closer side of the fork.

Frame is Columbus Max with matching fork, not sure how easy finding a suitable replacement would be.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
