The rotors can only be mic checked if they are on something to spin them. then you can mic them. as for the forks get them to sign something saying thier strait or you get your money back

My answers not good enough for you.... you can take the forks to a shop and put in a laithe but I figured that they wouldn't allow you to take the forks. Like I said get something in writing say thier strait or you get the money back

Put the forks on a table with the bottoms off so you can roll them back and forth. Worked for me...

I've seen warped rotors off a bike and it looked pretty obvious.
