Thank you so much! This technique is awesome and I was able to straighten the front fork of an MTB that was given to me after it had hit the side of a car. I got it close to straight again. Needless to say, I won't be riding it off-road since the fork is probably weakened from the bending.
@@moizkhan7748 TBH it's more of a spare bike, being an MTB which is big and slow compared to my normal city bike. I haven't put the bike under much strain but the play in the front forks is noticeable when holding the front brake and pushing the bike forward. I think it'll be fine for on-road use but I'd be wary of descending a big hill or doing any stunts, and I won't go off-road.
Thanks, that's doable for a bike with bent forks I have sitting here! Can't wait to try it.
Awesome idea! I m figuring out to do something similar to straighten headtubes of front crushed bicycles.
great job, i gotta do the same, to a 1956 raleigh superbe sports

How is it holding up?

genius! will try this on a bike i got w a bent fork, thanks so much!
Did you ever end up doing this? Would you recommend doing this on an old bicycle?
Nice
A little sketch, but functional!
