hi fork ,

 

i recently drop my bike and not the footrest dent ..

 

WORST still , my handle is not very straight. the wheel and handle not in alighment.

i went to shop , they tell me need adjust fork after a test ride @ 70 dollars.

my recent experience, fork bend : if you try to ride straight, you'll need to tilt the handle at certain angle to achieve it.

If just drop bike, "usually" it wouldn't cause the fork to bend... perhaps the "knock" cause the handle bend "inwards"? That's why you feel akward during the ride? (*these are purely speculations)

Else you can try check with other shop for suggestions, OR go around the front fork check for damages. Depress front brake, "pump" the front fork (*it should compress and rebound - functional check)

*Good Luck
