Does this fork look bent AGAIN?
I was building this up for a local kid and it worked and looked ok until I rode it. No hands was impossible, letting loose of the bars it wanted to immediately turn right.
If it rode straight I would have left it but

I tore it down and had the frame repainted, $20 and put the parts back on with some black spray paint on peripherals. Looking good but...

Need a bit of leverage..

yeah lucky you did not put a hole in your wall. might want to put a 2x4 between next time! but I guess if it did not...
well done! I saw someone else had a method with a car jack. yours is a lot less scientific and probably faster.

The increasing size of hammers is the correct approach. Remember "We never force anything. We just use a bigger hammer."

Tool Model 1 isn't that well suited to weight weenieism, but you know, that slight weight penalty for the benefit of Campagnolo componentry has always been worth it.

What is this "hammer?" I see an all purpose "multi-tool". Screwdriver/socket/stress reliever.
