I tweaked my forks in the triple clamp....a tree moved over into my path....I'm sure it's happened to many of you :coocoo: Had to ride the last 20 miles of an enduro with my bike wanting to go everywhere except where I pointed it.I even stopped to survey the damage but it was not obvious enough for me to try the old "stick the tire between two trees"method. Once I got it on the stand I was able to see that one fork was pulled slightly back.My question is this....is there a "scientific method" to align the forks in the triple clamp.I've had to do it many times over the years,but always loosened everything and just lined it up until it looked straight.I usually remove the front fender to be able to actually see the tire and then sit on the bike and move it until it"LOOKS" straight.I've even heard about spinning the wheel quickly and stopping it with the front brake but didn't find that it worked any better than the eyeball method. I've never read or heard of any method that involved measuring or such,that would ensure accuracy.Any help would be appreciated. :cool:
