There's nothing wrong with it apart from the electronic rear derailleur, because of this I am never voting Tory again

I would be like the Easton silver risers please, can bring cash to the imperial war museum

Nope. If I'm still in agony tomorrow will go to AnE on the advice of my physio. It's sciatica.
I have a freind who is an anaesthetist, who reckons take over the counter painkillers and stay away from AnE unless my leg goes numb.

I have my landline too.

My local gp surgery website says it's open today. But I've been on hold on the phone for 15 minutes. Should I give up?

I have a Genesis Croix De Fer touring fork, front ended in a collision with an inept motorist.
No cracks, but the wheel sits in the dropouts one or two degrees off square.
If you have the equipment / experience and think you can fix for less than the cost of a new fork, AND you're south / central london based, lemme know.
Also interested in advice on DIY solutions. I have some basic tools but not sure where to start with this.

I only switched out my steel fork because I crashed it. When I break the carbon one (I'm trying my best) I'll go back to steel.

I have a CGR1 fork.
The rack mounts are actually "anything cage" mounts. So if you want to carry proper panniers and go touring, you need to rig something up. I made it work but it's not ideal. Got speed wobbles and alot of flex.
Oddly there are no mounts on the dropouts for mudguards either, a wierd omission.
Also, fork advertised as having clearance for 40mm tyres. I've run 40s on a few off road rides and it's too tight. The result is grooves in the inside where the tyre hits the fork as the wheel flexes.
Basically, 350 quid and it doesn't do anything well. Your existing steel fork is much better. Stick with it, upgrade your wheels and groupset instead!
