Bent CF Fork dropouts

[TsPoet]

I hate to admit it, but I think you are all right. Especially since I am at the weight limit for the bike anyway, maybe if I were a lightweight.
I'll order a new fork (since it's a bent its a specialized fork that will cost me $300!), but I'd rather be safe than sorry, to quote an oft used phrase.
Good thing I have a bike addiction, so I'm not without another bike. But, this is my "performance" bike, so I'll be racing my commuter in this week's TT.

I've seen enough derailleur hangars fail after they've been bent out of line and then bent back in by hand that I would definitely not trust a fork dropout that had been bent. Fork failure is never ever going to end well, and it's relatively cheap to replace compared to the rest of the frame.
