« on: June 15, 2012, 07:21 PM »
Due to the fact that my numpty step son thinks that every bmx regardless of age or quality is actually a jump bike ! whatever a jump bike is (someone enlighten me) as i thought a jump bike was something like a hybrid mountain bike!! has managed to bend the forks on my chrome Haro revo .So question is how the dickens do i straighten them? He thinks his getting his hands on my Ripper he will loose the use of his legs!!! :2gunsfiring_v1:

Do you think just a heavy fly press would do the same job? not sure if we have a hydraulic one.
