Reassembling my bike now. I am pleased to note that it survived two flights completely unharmed VERY SAD to note that it was completely unharmed except for one of the dropouts in the fork, which is bent just slightly too small to admit the wheel. It's aluminum, so I might could be able to bend it back, but I can't figure out how.
Current tooling available to me:
Adjustable Crescent Wrench of Kneecapping, which is too large to fit between the dropout ends
Leatherman Juice, which is too small to get much leverage
Set of allen wrenches
4 butter knives
It's this or replace my whole damn fork, since it doesn't look like the dropouts come off.
Thoughts?
ETA: Fixed, through the perverse power of commerce and about twenty pounds of force. I should, by rights, not be able to buy a smaller wrench at 9 o'clock at night from a drugstore. But I did. So. I still need to go down to the bike shop anyway and get a second lock, so I'll show it to them and see what they say.
