How it gets fixed

Full safety inspection
Component realignment or replacement
Wheel truing
Battery casing inspection
Frame assessment

Try this first

Two hard rules after any crash: inspect the battery casing for dents or cracks, since a damaged lithium pack is a fire risk and should not be charged indoors until checked, and do not ride on a carbon component that took a hard hit. Aluminum bends visibly; carbon can fail suddenly. A post-crash inspection is quick and tells you what is cosmetic versus structural.
