After an altercation with the back of a car this morning, the forks on my old Alpinestars Cromega are bent slightly. They're cromo, and I'm thinking I could probably clamp them in a vice and straighten them.

But is it worth it, or are they likely to be dangerously knackered? I know alu forks are scrap once they're bent.
