    what if you pull it apart and send bits down to get checked, and your frame is the bent bit?
    Already been checked and it is the clamp, frame is fine

    thank me later as you'll retain those wheelie skills and they are a real fanny magnet.
    Don't know how to do wheelies, they're dangerous anyway.

    checked by who, somebody who fixes bent bikes, on a special machine?

    or by some mechanic, who changes oil, with their eye?

    You really do seem to have a phobia about dealing with anyone outside Auckland don't you.
    I'm not sure what that's all about but it's mildly disturbing.

    It's a big wide world out there past Bombay, Tonto.

    See the measuring rig in the link below? It's probably worth >$20,000 to replace and it's unlikely that there'd be more than another couple like it in the country, let alone people who actually know how to use it.

    You could always just stay within Auckland and ride with your bars and forks pointing to the left a little bit.

    Their website says:
    "We also straightened twisted triple claims; it is a beneficial if the forks and axle are included when sending triple claims for repair."

    I can't ship it all down. I need a place in Auckland to get this done.

    Why specifically? Clearly all the smart people must live somewhere else.

    it is beneficial, doesn't say essential, give the man a ring and see what he says..
    often a punter thinks his triple clamps are bent, but doesn't know that the forks or the axle may also be, pick up the phone, please, and put us all out of our misery.

    I appreciate your advice so far. I'm sorry I haven't gone to F1 Engineering but I want to try get it done in Auckland

    I have stated my reasons previously but essentially I need to get this done within a day, so it is best if I can organise with a shop up here and get it all sorted out. Easier than travelling all the way to hamilton.

    Tell him tony/Frosty sent ya--It might help
    Looks like he does frame straightening so I'm sure clamps may not be a biggy. Really hope he pulls through, will try get in touch with him tomorrow. Thanks again nzspokes!

    I took a frame to Steve once he's got a fancy machine.

    It was a bit skarwy going over the Bombays but once I found you could still get a flat trim soy decafe latte it was ok.

    From memory they have cash machines there too.
    DeMyer's Laws - an argument that consists primarily of rambling quotes isn't worth bothering with.
