I bent my left fork leg. Can I just bend it back in a vice? What are these made of? Steel? Has anybody tried to fill these with an epoxy or something to prevent them from bending? I guess I will try to straighten it and fill them both to try and strenghen them.
Any words of wisdom? Should I just buy Chro moly ones? Are they really stronger?

Thanks,
Nathan

 

Buy a new leg - their cheap.

 

On one of mine - I bent it back with a vice and hammer....do it real slow....


the other i bought the 1" longer ones - no problems or signs of bending yet.


OH - I did hear of a mx guy cuting wood dal rods and puting them in there for strength....

 

Can I just bend it back in a vice?No it's round tubing. If it's kinked your F****D
What are these made of? Crappy stell tubing
Steel?Yes
Has anybody tried to fill these with an epoxy or something to prevent them from bending?Not that I know of.
Any words of wisdom?Buy Chriomoly fork legs
Should I just buy Chro moly ones? Yes
Are they really stronger?Yes alot stronger. But heavier

 

get the chromoly +1's, they're well worth it and tons stronger than stock. you'll prob. never have to deal w/ it again... i love my sano's.

A piece of steel rebar for concrete fits inside them although it is heavy. put tubes in oven and rebar in freezer. work quickly!

 

i bent mine back then went to the local hardware with a fork leg found a bolt that would fit perfect in their went home cut the head off the bolt slid it in their never had a problem again problem sloved for under 1 dollar. and i jump off flights of steps dirt street stoppies and they never bent

 

well, i think i'm gonna try to get the chromoly ones, but i don't want the extra inch, so i'm gonna cut an inch off and redrill the pin holes...

 

i don't think it's all that noticeable... try it out first you might be sorry if you f up you're new legs.

Haven't seen Crazy Dan's "A Few Loose Screws" yet?:

 

 

A friend of mine bend both of his so we put it in a vice and heated them with the torch and bent'em back. With the fork guards on it's not noticeable. He still rides it that way but I would do the quick fix and find new legs in the meantime.

 

Where is the best place to get chro moly legs? What brand???
Thanks for all the help.
