fork straightening
« on: June 21, 2016, 09:02 PM »
I recently picked up a set of redline forks from an RL20 - bought as used, so no complaints from the seller, but I have found that one of the legs has been bent back 5mm out of line.

Any ideas on putting this right? These forks are strong,,,,,

Brute force and a long bar in a vice. I've done quite a few sets, and always over bend then let go, you want 5mm bend 10mm

I know it's not a for sale thread, but please give me a shout if you fancy flogging these mate as I have an RL20 but it has PL20 forks rather than this style.
Cheers Steve
