Apologies to LW, but until I noticed his buiness website on his posts, I thought he was like me a bikie with a little knowledge but not expertise.

I think it matters where the stress-affected area is. If the bends are all concentrated in one small zone, I can see the problem. That's the issue with seatstays breaking at brake bridges or pulling out brake bridges. But that might not be the case for all fork bends. I'm going to see the local guy about it but I can't for a few weeks.
