    How can I check if my frame's straight ?

    How can I check if my frames straight ?Ive just got my bike back together but still have some work to do, I bent the lower triple clamp on my bike and have replaced it with a new one, the wheel doesnt appear to have moved forward any ?
    Im pretty sure the forks arent bent because with the wheel off each fork spins freely inside the sleeve...

    when you spin the forks in the clamps. Do the bottoms of the forks spin true?

    But thats the problem with newer stronger USD forks. They bend the frame now instead of just the forks!

    Where abouts is that ?
    Im now convinced the wheel hasnt moved, it appears to ride straight but under braking the wheel has rubbed all the rubber off the sparkplug head
    also Im having some real trouble bleeding my brembos, after bleeding they feel really good until you go for as short ride then the lever pulls all the way back to the bar, then on the second pump they feel good again
