They are TOUGH. I remember when I was a kid - we used to jump curbs, ride the dirt trails and take jumps, ride wheelies and come down HARD, all on our Schwinn Varsities. And we never bent or broke one - never.

But they do weigh a bit more....

They should be interchangeable with other forks, assuming the length is good.
