Disc brake & crabbing

[BobSaunders]

Long story short, had a nasty crash the other week on the road bike - too fast into a bend. It happens.

I've had the bike fully stripped, cleaned, and serviced and looked over for damage - minus x-ray's. I've been told it's fine.

Canyon Ultimate with discs.However, when braking, the bike feels like it is crabbing to the left. To ensure it's not my head post crash.. crabbing to the left normal under disc braking?

Only if the fork blade is flexing...

No road disc experience but have ridden discs on MTB for just under 20y and have never, ever experienced crabbing or instability
Not even with a Cannondale Lefty

Your average MTB wheel and fork combo weigh a lot more than the equivalent bits of a foxy German speed demon though

No thats not normal! As said above its likely to be something flexing causing the issue. I'd be getting the bike stripped and checked as best you can.

I'll get it checked over again by someone else. FFS. Bike is only three months old.
