I know track frames are supposed to have tight clearance, but it seems like if I were to go off a curb it would rub against the bottom of the frame. Is there any way to bend the fork back out slightly? can I take it somewhere to have it be fixed? i'd like to avoid having to buy a new track fork cause i know undrilled stuff can be expensive, plus i want to preserve my paintjob...(picky i know), but is there anything i can do?
if it's steel it can be fixed. take it to your lbs and ask them, but be sure they know how to do it.
a better option would be a framebuilder if there's one in your area.
