Default Alingment fix??

While ago i layed my bike down (35 mph) and i have not replaced the right clip yet but when I ride it the stering is tweeked to the the rightwhile the tire is still going straight.when Ithe bars are striaght, bike def turns. Do i just remove everything to free up the forks and re-tighten? My fork tubes are not bent, Im also not sure if its just the clip bent and making it seem like its tweeked.

Any help?

Do a search, I've written this up at least 3 times. In short, just loosten the lower tripple clamps and either hit the front rim against something to tweak it or have a friend hold the tire in place while you twist and tighten the lower clamp again. Might take a couple of trys but it works for me.

Ever have your forks twisted on your bicycle? You know how you'd hold the front wheel between your legs and have a buddy torque the bars - or you just banged the front wheel on a tree to straighten it with the bars?

Same thing here.
