erm, had a 'bit' of a stack after hitting a chain someone had helpfully stretched accross a path on the northside of leith hill..
my question is; how do i tell if the forks (sid sl) are 'bent under' as opposed to being normal? is there a specific measurement i should be looking for?
I cant see or feel any damage, they feel strong, but i just have this nigglig feeling they're not 'right'
(i suppose it could be my arms that are 6 inches shorter than they were, but....) :wink:

    get the bike to the LBS for a check over.

    if you want you could download the tech drawings from Srams webby. But a like for like inspection will be the easiest.
