omg. they're threaded. they're just as strong as a stock fork.

actually, they're weaker than a stock fork. because on a stock fork all the stress goes to the fork tube (because its threaded, and the bars can grip it better) but, it has a point on the fork (fork legs) where it lets some of the stress go to the legs, because they can bend. and this idea, (reinforced fork legs and such) puts ALL of the stress on the fork tube. causing it to break even easier then stock forks. by buying this, you will be throwing away 60 dollars. horrible. and i almost promise, if it wasn't some pretty color you wouldn't buy it.

cuz, where the thread is, it can snap, cuz threading stuff usually makes it weaker on the inset of the thread
