Though there are some dents,ripples to the higher part of the fork blades near the brake hole but i suspect these are manufacturing fault in the welding process of the blades.badly the fork is painted nickel plated though and i think its more tolerating to distortion than usual paint does.

For the second time in a week I'll provide a link to a post I made a year or so ago about checking fork alignment with simple tools at home. Andy.

ive read briefly your guide and i have some questions.lets say the axle is finally parallel to the fork crown.fork blades straight etc.
how do we check the correct angle of the blades compared to the steerer?this is the main effect of a front crash and my concern.
