Bikes: Had a Surly Cross Check - was totaled in recent accident. Sadly now just a Fuji Crosstown as a backup bike.

Really dumb question about steel forks

My Salsa Casseroll is a steel framed bike. I'm used to aluminum - and I know steel is more flexy.

When I drop my wheel in the front fork and open/close the quick release I can see the fork move 'in and out' and the flex is quite visible when I clamp/unclamp the quick release.

This is normal, right ?

It is not much (like a mm or 2 - but it is quite perceptable).

Thanks!
