All in all you don't want to do this yourself via clamps and bars unless you have to - Now what about the rest of the frame - Be sure you give the whole thing a very good look over for hairline cracks - Tap/Ping the frame and fork and check for any dull sounds or rings - I had a situation where I ran into the rough after coming down a hill to fast - I noted a little pull on my front wheel and excessive wear on the center of my front tire ONE YEAR LATTER - When I removed the fork there was a 2mm crack in the crown - After checking alinement I just braised it up and put it back on but I should have checked and found it much earlier...
