related but kinda not to the thread...
the other day in the wet i had to apply front brake(as i still have no rear) suddenly to avoid a cat. i like cats...anyway, i slid out. very minor scratches etc, hardly anything actually, however when i picked the bike up and rode home the steering was outta whack. cant really see what it is. i thought maybe like some bikes the steering may have moved, but i cant see how it can. i pulled the bars off and repositioned them between 2 punch hole marks and things seem to be better, but when i jump on, something now on the front end appears bent.
It was just a matter of time. This rear brake thing has gone on way too long. still waiting for parts from hitchcocks from weeks ago.
i find it really hard to get things straight on bikes as they should be...
