A slight 'moment' and on recovery by front brake caliper is jammed in my spokes preventing the wheel from spinning.
Anyone want some second hand forks, special shims may be required if you want to run disc brakes
Not sure if those are Pace but they did have some issues with the magnesium debonding from the carbon. If the disc mount dropout has come unbonded I'd try and get it off, clean it up and rebond it. If you put the wheel and caliper back on before the glue is dry you should be able to check alignment.
But I'm prepared to take a more relaxed attitude with repairs to critical items than many. 🙂
Edit: if it's the fork leg twisted in the crown, I'd probably draw the line at that.
There's a spigot from the crown that the carbon fork leg is bonded to. (I've seen cracked spigots). I'm guessing it's that bonding that has failed?
The magnesium bit at the bottom had twisted. I used a bench vice and a big lever to twist it back again. It was damn tight and would have needed an angle grinder with cutting disc to remove it.
A quick test ride and it seems fine. If the bottom falls off and I die then I will know it wasn't quite fine
You really don't have to go to all these lengths just to live up to your username.
As above, have you not considered changing your name? Nominative determinism and all that.
Look, I am a reformed character. I even dribbled some superglue around the base once it what straight. What more can I do?

Eek. What forks?
Looks like you've got a bit too little damping wound on to those forks as well.........

Heatgun, wiggle it off, clean and re bond is how madone dropouts used to be done.
Exotics?
They are really old paces.
