Hey Guys,
Had a bad hit a few weeks ago on the left side. I caught the rim on a BIG rock, toasted the rim, bent the tie rod about 25 degrees and bent the handlebars.
Work all day yesterday and got everything replaced, and dialed in the front end. The front tires seem to track straight but it now looks like I'm crabbing, front tires off center from the rear.
My question is, do I automatically assume I have either a bent frame or something bent in the front end? It was a fairly violent hit and I'm now afraid that the frame is tweaked. OR, is it something to do with front end set up?
Any help would be appreciated.:(
