When I had my truck I would tie down the bike using two adjustable ties hooked onto the inner handle bars and then to the bed of the truck (in the front corners).
I never had a problem with the bike moving around or falling and it seemed really sturdy.
However,
Now my front forks are sagging... and they're bottoming out all the time now. I literally have to "lift" the front up from underneath the bars when the bike is just sitting there (with me NOT sitting on it) for the forks to return to full height.
Did I ruin my forks by having them compressed while the bike was in transit?
What do you guys think?
My buddy was saying that I should have put a block of wood in between the tire and the bottom of the triple clamp in order to prevent compressing..
