I too amazingly crashed my Sam H. into a parked car! In my defense, it was
4ยบ and I was distracted by how miserable I was.
My fork was totally shot and I called up Keven at Rivendell and he set me
up with a solid Taiwanese replacement fork for $100, as I recall. had to
pay an additional $130

Dear Anne,
Yes. You can bend forks a fair bit and still end up with something rideable
once they've been realigned.

I bent one back for a guy on a brevet one time because some angry guy tried

Within reason, sure. There was/is a shop tool that clamps to the fork tips
like a hub would, and braces itself on the BB shell and you turn a
leadscrew to push it back out. If the forkblades are wrinkled at all, then
you get a little more queasy about it. Feel under the top tube and down
I had a bikeshop do this for me years ago, they had a jig they put the fork
in and just mainupulated it until it was true to the jig. Now my fork was
squashed in shipping so not sure about the front to back bending.

Yellow Jersey did it on my XO-5. Extremely fast turnaround and perfect job.
Can't tell visually or functionally that it was ever bent.

It's probably fine. I did have a ten speed in high school where I hit
something and bent the fork. My dad bent it back, and it worked, until I
hit the back wheel of another high school cyclist making a U turn in the
middle of the road. The fork bent way further than it had originally, and
