Is this bent or okay???
« on: July 24, 2009, 04:42 PM »
Just received my Mongoose Californian F&F in the post.  The forks don't look straight - the top part isn't exatly in line with the bottom.  Do you think they may be bent, and if they are, can I still use em?

Thanks

They look correct to me.  They all have a fair old rake on 'em.

Yeah that looks ok, maybe slightly bent but only by 1mm. Alot of the mongoose stuff is different so i woul'dt worry about it. Ive got forks that are straight in line and some that have a slight bend in em like yours, its just the way mongoose made em  :daumenhoch:
