.065 wall would be too thin for aluminum. I'd say just go with chromoly, because it's as strong as steel but not that much heavier than buffs.

Alot. It's steel and stocks are aluminum. And .065 is good for aluminum. But if you really want to make sure you dont bend them... get like aluminum round bar with the closed ends and like drill a tiny hole in each end to relieve the weld heat.

First unscrew the clamp holding the bars and take your bars off then above the top headset cup there is a large nut unscrew it with a wrench and take headset out then change fork and put headset back on [sorry if it didn't make much sense]

the best wy to reinforce your forks i thinkpersnaly is to get a old t-bar and cut it to fit the legth of the forks and fill then the t-tube with old bearings and it will help it to be stronger then just a extra tube that has been put into the forks

Just wondering if anyone has ever reinforced a new micro foldy? You know, the ones that snap all the time and have plastic in the middle?
And if anyone has, what tools do you need and whered you find the plate or whatever you reinforced it with?
