Sucks man,
Proto's really not living up to what its said it'd be.

Coz its over hyped BS

I knew the forks would suck. They look pretty much like a stock pro's.

Its not the look or design thats the probablem its coz proto didn't heat treat this batch which is stupid

[JarradSmith]

How do you know if it was heat treated or not?

 

[ashz893scootys]

Heat treatment is a method used to alter the physical, and sometimes chemical, properties of a material. The most common application is metallurgical. Heat treatments are also used in the manufacture of many other materials, such as glass. Heat treatment involves the use of heating or chilling, normally to extreme temperatures, to achieve a desired result such as hardening or softening of a material. Heat treatment techniques include annealing, case hardening, precipitation strengthening, tempering and quenching. It is noteworthy that while the term heat treatment applies only to processes where the heating and cooling are done for the specific purpose of altering properties intentionally, heating and cooling often occur incidentally during other manufacturing processes such as hot forming or welding.

i think i get it now

 

[TomHiette]

It brief it is a method of improving the strength of metal, in PROTO case, improving the strength of the welds.

 

[ashz893scootys]

we should get replacements though

 

[TomHiette]

Yeah well, the new Warranty is out, but im not sure if it covers bending, You would have to ask Andrew.

 

[JarradSmith]

But how do you tell if its heat treated?

 

[TomHiette]

Im not quite exact on that one Jarrad, i dont think there is any visable signs that it has been heat treated.
