My fork, which is steel, is bent very slightly from a crash the bike experienced (not by me). As a result, I cannot ride the bike "no-handed" because the wheel pulls immediately to the left. However, with hands on the handlebar, this pull cannot be felt. I've been riding this bike for a long time with this pull, and it presents no problems for me. My point is that if your bike is steel (or cro-molly), and rides fine as long as you have hands on the handlebar, there is no concern about the pull unless it is severe.
