This is why we ride on our bicycles rather than take them for a
ride!!! ;)

I have seen it happen to mountain bikes attached via the fork dropouts
on Utah's White Rim Trail. The bouncing around of the truck causes
the skewer to loosen and the bike falls over.

What's the model? I have a dented Atlantis frame with a perfectly good
fork, with which I'd happily part. If somehow you're talking about a
1-1/8 threadless fork, I've got an extra of those (from a Soma Double-
Cross) as well.

I did the same thing to my orange Rambo about a month after getting it. I got
mixed messages on whether or not if could be straighened safely. There was
also paint damage where the drop out and fork came together. Your best bet is
to take it to a builder or shop you trust and go with their

Can you describe this a bit more? What does 'bike tipped over' mean? Were
the dropouts sitting on the skewer in the rack, but not locked in?
I'd also be curious: did you have
I did that to my orange Ram fork 4 years ago, exactly the same way, but
I only bent mine 45 degrees.
I took it to one of the best mechanics in the area (Bill Ron of Redondo
Beach, CA), and when he bent it back, the front brake's relationship to
the wheel rim was identical to how it had been be
You'll be fine with only one drop out. This is why they make Riv's
