Locking up a wheel won't misalign the forks. When you tighten everything together, I'd advise you to use a torque wrench; the fork pinch bolts are pretty critical, and hard to get right by hand.


What is the recommended torque for the pinch bolts?

Be aware, this is not very wise advise!

just a thought to throw in there, my bar ends were stolen, and before i replaced them the bike had an ever so slight right pull. Put a new pair on, no pull.
