I was riding the other day on some old rail road tracks and there was this little jump, needless to say i kinda hit at the wrong angle and when i come down i slid then rolled on the side. Well my quistion is, when it rolled it bent my handle bars a lil on the right side but i've straighten them out. Now when my wheels are straight my handle bars looks like i'm turning to the right a little, its not that bad. I'm just wondering if there is anyway of fixing this problem without having to buy a whole new steering stem?
