Well, guys, my joy of owning a mint bike has been short lived. About a month ago, some kid decided all of a sudden to take a left turn, not looking if anybody was already overtaking. That somebody turned out to be me and... you can see the result below. Mind you that I was coming from the right side of the pic before ending up in the ditch.





Long story short, now I'm in the process of repairing the the bike. Since buying in in the first place drew a big hole in my finances, I'll try and do it by myself as much as possible.

Step #1 is changing the fork tubes, since both of them got bent. I got some new ones from wemoto, ~165EUR / piece, but now I wanted to ask if any of you has any experience on this. Do you know of any step by step / show & tell? are there any SF tools required? For instance, to service the fork in my old SuperTenere I had to fabricate a contraption to unscrew the damn inner bolt.

Much obliged for your help. I'll do my best to document all the stages of the repair, so others in similar situations may walk a less rugged road.
