i think its a new fork they invented because landing on pegs were putting to much stress on the axles and were bending them so now this way its all stress is on the fork and the fork is stronger than the axel. my theory any ways

there called peg boses...they were built so that you didnt have to grind or worry about bending your axles and they look cool......there really heavy......

they aren't new. they are very very old. they are peg bosses, so if you bend the bolts that hold the peg on, you just buy new ones at a hardware store. just like profile hubs

I saw forks like that on the Nerves at a local bike shop. I thought they were stupid looking. I got to ride one of the Nerves that had pit bosses, They didn't handle like a normal bike.

You seem to be pointing the finger at others.
