Re: my new tires were a waste of time
I had an off at some speed and the steering was wonky as a result, even after new bars, but all it took to sort it was the front wheel being re-aligned - you're damage may be different but it may not be that bad. Nevertheless, I have spent a fortune on repairing mine! So much for 3rd party only!!

Re: my new tires were a waste of time
Luckily I scrubbed my new rear tyre in last weekend but I'm getting a new front one this week which should be fun and games. Glad your safe mate that's the main thing.

Re: my new tires were a waste of time
When I get them straightened it's done by a pro and he charges me 30 quid a stanchion. You'll pay more if he has to strip the fork leg down and rebuild it though.

Re: my new tires were a waste of time
So long as the stancion hasn't got a 'crease' is what I was led to believe. I've got the pair of shiny forks upstairs from when I bent them on the deer, shame they have a slight crease...I kinda liked them
 Had to buy a new set
