Bike shop that can straighten a steel fork

barrymanilow · 2018-03-17 23:12:54

Have a steel fork that must have some bend in it as when the wheel is in the dropouts it leans hard to one side of the fork . Wheel dish is good , tried another wheel to be sure . Is there any shop in the country where I could send it to get it fixed , any shop that also does frame building or anything like that ?

I got a frame restored here a couple of years ago, highly recommended.

A bit expensive to buy for yourself, but any shop that has one should be able to help you (or you could make something similar, if you have the facilities)
