"sly your an ass, would the hell would say "just standing around hold some 40" it's 40's."
So, Heavymetal45 you do understand people could say it like this, "Just standing around holding a 40."

no because they are just how big the stanchions are, if you go on there website or mojo its not 40 36 or 40's 36's, they put 40mm and 36mm.

"just standing around holding a set of Boxxers" makes sense.
"just standing around holding a set of Boxxer" doesn't make sense!!!
"just standing around holding a set of Boxxer" doesn't make sense!!!

it's not a set of boxxers!!!!! it's one boxxer!!! is she holding more than one fork? It's not a freaking set
the sentence should be "just standing around holding a boxxer." my god...
and you know she's holding a 40, right?

tomato, tomoto, same thing.She has a pair of 40's , she has one fox 40, same thing. jesus christ
- 3 1
well , "those are nice forks" people are saying fox 40's are nice forks, if they said "that's a nice fork" they would be talking about the one in the picture... but i dont know why someone would say pair, i would say like, those are nice forks, and sure if someone like you would read you would reply or atleast think to yourself, that i am not using correct grammar....

she just walked in shouted"TAX" picked them up and walked off slowly, and the pit team was like WTF???- 12 0
jesus christ reading all these arguments makes me wanna say stfu and let go split a 40...and drink it
- 26 12
right. im putting this straight. if you ask anyone at a bike shop, then they say forks reffering to one SET of forks. it is one set, just like you say sunglasses. you dont say ''hey guys, check out my new sunglass'' do you? no. ask any proffesional rider. its forks. get it right.
- 9 7
pong101 is right... the example with the sunglasses was very clear.... whoever negged him probably had nothing to answer back so just went "well ye..no but...aww hell i'm still neg proping you"... by the way this does look kinda photoshopped....still an amazing idea though....
- 25 4
So pong - would you say to your friend "So I just got a new forks?" No, you would say "I got a new FORK"
Your example is stupid since sunglasses only exists in the plural form. Fork on the other hand, exists in both plural and singular... so why the hell would you use "forks" when there is obviously only one. SET of forks? No, you dont have a set of forks! You kids are unbelievable.
Bicycle fork
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"A bicycle fork is the portion of a bicycle that holds the front wheel and allows the rider to steer and balance the bicycle."
^^Notice it doesn't say, "a SET OF BICYCLE FORKS is the portion that holds ...."
Anyone who thinks it's forks should hit up grade three again.
Next up for debate: Is it a pair of pants, or is it just pant?
(Obviously this is a joke, it's like the sunglasses thing. It only exists in plural form... so please don't actually discuss it)

PONG... I have worked in 3 bike shops, currently still working in one... YOURFULLOFSHIT. It's a fork. There is ONE FORK which consists of both stanchions, lowers, steer tube and crown... You were talkin to a noob if you really heard that in a shop... I feel sorry for their customer service reputation if that really is the case

holy shit i was just reading this aruments and i thought all the comments were old i then realized it still going on i think everyone should just take a breather and stop arguing
- 7 0
I agree, but it just annoys the hell out of me how people are still arguing the it's forks. I want to put it to an end now because this argument always pops up all over the forum. 
- 8 3
I want to all the "FORKS" guys to understand something: IT IS f*ckING FORK, even in spanish is FORK (horquilla -- Reads: or-kee-ya) NOT FORKS (horquillas -- Reads: or-kee-yas) so can you accept that the correct term for the par that holds your front wheel is actualy in singular and that is not a SET unlike wheels, cogs, tubes, tires, spokes, hubs, rims, levers, brakes shifters or anithing that you can imagine that comes in the presentation of SET. Thanks too all! 
- 10 1
^^ This guy doesn't even speak English as a first language and even he knows the correct term. How hard is it to get it in your head guys? There is only one fork on your bike. Read my previous post, there is absolutely no argument you can say to that without looking like an idiot.
Case closed.
Case closed.
- 6 6
or why dont we just say it can be used in both terms? because its alright to say fork, or forks, as you can say to your friend either ''i got a new fork'' or ''i got some new forks'' right? ive heard both, as i do work part time in a bike shop. maybe its different in america to england? because everyone from england is arguing forks and everyone from america is arguing fork, so it must be that? case closed...

reading this i said fork so many times (and forks) that it doesnt even sound like a real world coming out of my mouth anymore
- 4 6
well why can't it be a pair of forks too?? like the pair of jeans or sunglasses we mentioned above??? yeah they only exist in plural form but seriously what it the f*ckin difference with the fork thing??? in all three cases we are reffering to ONE object....just cuz you don't say it as much it doesn't mean that its wrong....i say forks more often so now fork sounds wrong to me.... and i can just support my oppinion by saying it exists in plural form too as DEMO-250 continiously said to support his... i don't think either of them is wrong and we should all just accept that.... so i say we close this stupid argument cuz it just not leading anywhere nobody is gonna admit his mistake....
- 6 2
oh and btw in Greek we say (πιρουνι - pirouni) which is fork in singular form.... but still i wouldn't compare Greek to English cuz that would be very VERY stupid and would have no meaning at all... and that also goes for comparing spanish to english my friend downhiller900sl....

@Alekoubas
Your argument is about as bad as the sunglasses one. Actually it is probably worse... the sunglasses one actually made some sense, all you did was contradict yourself. I don't feel like pointing out all the flaws in what you are saying, but I will so that perhaps you will gain a better grasp of the English language.
"well why can't it be a pair of forks too??" - It can, no one is saying that it can't. It just simply isn't in this case. If she was holding 2 Fox 40s, then yes, it would be a PAIR of them.
"in all three cases we are reffering to ONE object" ..... "i can just support my oppinion by saying it exists in plural form too" - Uhm... really? How is FORKS referring to one object? If that was the case, the word fork would not exist and it would be another "sunglasses" case. Perhaps you don't realize the meaning behind plural words. They are used to represent more than one of something. Words like sunglasses, which we already talked about, exist in one form only, which effectively forces the use of it for both singular and plural meanings. But since FORK has a separate word for the plural meaning, that tells us that it must only be used when we have more than one.

alright this does make more sense to be honest.... but also another thing just so i can get a better "grasp" of the english language.... How is PANTS or even Trousers reffering to one object??? why can't it be the same with forks??? also im not saying that fork is a wrong way to describe the object.... grammatically it does sound more correct.... and since as you said there is a separate word for the plural meaning, i don't think there's any doubt that saying fork is the correct way....but why the hell is pants any different??? seriously i totally get your point but i just think its completely a matter of speech... the sunglasses example is actually worse because if you think about it you are reffering to the lenses, which do come in pairs....so using it in plural and not in singular form makes more sense...on the other hand i insist that forks is the same case as pants, with the difference that in the "fork-forks" case we can reffer to one object both in singular (fork) or in plural (set of forks) form.... dude this is never ending im telling you....
- 8 4
True, I wish I never commented on it to begin with. Every time I go on pinkbike now I see new comments in my dashboard, lol.
But as for your pants question: The reason that pants is referring to one object is because there is no way to say it as a singular without actually having to use the plural form of the word. You can't say that "I'm wearing pant" or "I just bought new PANT." You use the plural to describe both singular and plural in this case. The only way that "pant" becomes a usable word is if you are talking about a leg of your pants. You could then say "I went biking and ripped my pant leg." Although I think the correct way of saying it is still supposed to be "I ripped the leg of my pants."
"i don't think there's any doubt that saying fork is the correct way....but why the hell is pants any different???" - I honestly have no idea why this is the case. It's the silly things like this that make English so hard to master as a second language. We have a lot of stupid rules. This whole argument can, and should be blamed on the fact that the English language is ridiculous.
In conclusion: The grammatically correct way to refer to a single fork is indeed "fork," but due to the complex nature of the English language, we have many, MANY variances in the way we talk and the way we describe things. So if you want to call it forks, then go ahead, we all know what you mean by it... but some of us, (me included) like to make a big deal out of nothing because we have nothing better to do when we aren't out on the bike.
But as for your pants question: The reason that pants is referring to one object is because there is no way to say it as a singular without actually having to use the plural form of the word. You can't say that "I'm wearing pant" or "I just bought new PANT." You use the plural to describe both singular and plural in this case. The only way that "pant" becomes a usable word is if you are talking about a leg of your pants. You could then say "I went biking and ripped my pant leg."

good enough for me.... yeah i don't even know why i'm arguing about this, english isn't even my native language.... anyway couldn't agree more with the conclusion so we're good.... rippin-norco, you realise this should concern you a lot more than it should me right (?), but you are complaining we are taking up your dashboard space... nice...

personally iv never heard anyone say 'i need a new fork' or 'my fork is soo good' just sounds retarded
- 7 2
Stevie so saying "I need some new forks" sounds better? Well that's true, since that would mean you need multiple forks which is always better than just one fork

well your not going to say..."im wearing pant...your going to say im wearing pants, meaning left and right leg...just like the fox 40'S"
- 3 5
u must not know what your talking bout and i was trying to think of a way to prove tht these are forks, just like pants so ur wrong.. its pants and 40's bcuz there are 2 40's on the fox 40's becuase there are TWO 40 millimeter bootS so its fox 40's so you need to just.......shut the FUCK UP

Think what you want, I'm tired of this stupid argument. Yes it has two fork legs.
In case you missed that: FORK legs. It does not, however, have 2 FORKS legs.

@makonastinky - You missed the point of the entire argument. No one was talking about whether it was called 40s or 40. The whole disagreement was about the word fork in general. You dont call it forks...

"FORKS" Can be used when either talking in general or when there is more than one.
"Fork" is when you are talking specific.

right sumone needs to end this argument Fork = As a piece of cutlery or kitchenware, a fork is a tool consisting of a handle with several narrow tines (at least three or four, but never just two as in the photograph) on one end. The fork, as an eating utensil, has been a feature primarily of the West, whereas in East Asia chopsticks have been more prevalent. Today, forks are increasingly available throughout East Asia. The utensil (usually metal) is used to lift food to the mouth or to hold food in place while cooking or cutting it. Food can be lifted either by spearing it on the tines, or by holding it on top of the tines, which are often curved slightly. For this latter function, in the American style of fork etiquette, the fork is held with tines curving up; however, in continental style, the fork is held with the tines curving down.
your all wrong
your all wrong

we r not talking about the fork u eat with, we r talking about a mountain bike fork... u sure u belong on this website wich is named pinchbike.com yes pinkBIKE.com so we r obviosly not talking about the fork u eat with, you retard

Slyfox...stfu...and makonastinky, STFU ALSO BECAUSE WERE MAKING THE SAME GOD DAMMED POINT SO DONT TELL ME TO SHUT UP YOU IMMATURE BASTARD
- 1 4
mtxfreestyle13 that wasnt aimed towards u , i was reenstating your point empohasising that it was correct, its not pant its pants and its forks, but also could be said as fork, ex. "my fork is f*cked up" and the same sentence but using forks "my forks are f*cked up" incorect ex. "my forks is f*cked up "and my fork are f*cked up" but the first and second examples are grammicaly correct, and it would be 40's but thats another story, ex. "i have a pair of fox 40 forks" ex #2 "i have a pair of fox 40s" hey what do you know, im correct so argument CLOSED

Don't try to sound so smart when you spell every second word incorrectly and have a 6 line run on sentence. I didn't even bother trying to understand that pathetic attempt at a reply.

makonastinky are you stupid.. of course i know that this stupid argument is about forks or fork that you ride with.. But i thought that seen as everyone else is being immature by arguing about it like kids then why not post a comment like that... All i did was type Fork into wikipedia and thats what they came up with.. Also isnt it down to the person to call it watever they want.. Instead of saying ' oh im gonna call it fork today because the guy on pinkbike said that thats how i should say it.. hmmm

rossspecialized It's not supposed to let people call things what ever they want due to the fact that things are called only one way (to be exact, the CORRECT one) and that is what has been discussed in this, lets say, thread that was generated. I stand for the term FORK, I have my reasons and I think that is the correct way to refer to that part.
The other point I want to argue with you is that this is not a "kids fight", some may say comments that are stupid, nonsense, dont have any knowledge to support them or are immature, but the core of the discussion is my first statement in this post, referring to things right.
By thinking the way you do (let people cant call things what ever they want) is when the language being Spanish (my native), English, Greek or whatever are being distorted and corrupted, and then you see kids in the forums writing things like "youre bike" instead of "your bike" or "the bike is their" instead of "the bike is there", and I can keep going on and on, but you can get the point.
By the way I'm not flaming you or anyone, just want to state that this, to me, is not an immature discussion at all, immature is to say things wrong only because it sounds "right to me".
To support my statement I searched Wikipedia and found this:
Bicycle fork
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A bicycle fork is the portion of a bicycle that holds the front wheel and allows the rider to steer and balance the bicycle. A fork consists of two fork ends which hold the front wheel axle, two blades which join at a fork crown, and a steerer or steering tube to which the handlebars attach (via a stem) allowing the user to steer the bicycle. The steerer of the fork interfaces with the frame via a set of bearings known as a headset mounted in the head tube.

Honestly, just STFU; you are making yourself look like a moron. I already explained in my previous post that pants (trousers / shorts) is used as singular and plural because it doesn't have a separate singular variation. Fork on the other hand, which is singular, has it's own separate word for the plural version; so why the f*ck would we use "forks" (the plural version) to represent SINGULAR when there is obviously a singular variation just waiting to be used?
I'll put this into English that even moongose can understand: It not called forks, it actually called fork.
Yes, that was a shot at your intelligence.
No, you should not reply until you complete grade 8 English.
No, I'm not usually a dick.
Yes, I'm only a dick right now because I'm tired of this idiotic argument.

I was under the impression you liked to use incorrect English, which is why I worded it in a way even you could understand. Now if you could read, I kindly said not to reply until you have completed grade 8 English.
I think you need an even simpler explanation though, so here goes. "It called fork, fork go on bike, you ride bike."
"nah its defo" "everyones is" "tbh" "whatever of the two you say"
You are definitely the last person who can comment on what the correct way to say something is. That was a fine display of your perfected English skills.

Sure, you can ride a bike with forks on it all you want. Not sure how you plan on attaching them.... weld on a second headtube perhaps?

demo-250 rocks! is good to be on the same side. I think that even if makonastinky can get a second headtube welded its going to even more difficult (or may I say difficulter ) to get only one handlebar to turn 2 FORKS (now its the time to use that word) or to control 2 handlebars with only 2 hands. After reading all of this comments I can be proud to know how to speak/write in english not being my native language, and that some guy born in England (country where english was born) just cant

Demo 250 I have no idea what grade 8 English is; because in England we do grades in music and not subjects. But anyway i'm guessing that if you had done English to a high-ish level you would probably have studied dialects/idiolect. So as you noticed, "tbh" "nah its defo" both are not standard English. However they are idiolect.
Whereas (as i said previously) "it called fork, fork go on bike, you ride bike" just isn't any where near to being right.
Also, I consulted the internet: and you are right that it is fork due to the fact that it is a single entity. However I probably will continue to call them forks because thats what I know them as and its what everyone I know calls them.

In Canada, grades are used to refer to how many years of public school you have completed. Kindergarten - Grade 12.
For the second time, you have failed to comprehend my "incorrect English" as a joke. I wrote it that way in reference to your incorrect use of the word "forks." I basically implied, that since you like to use other words incorrectly, you may as well just type like that.
Anyways, it seems we've come to an agreement.

The woman in this picture is holding a fork. Shes not holding forks, she is just holding one fork. where is the 2nd fork? is each individual stanchion a fork? no...it takes 2 to make one fork. So there you have it. The official end of this argument.
Although we should continue on with something and make it in the guiness book of world records with fr3erid3r and Demo-250 as the ones who officially ended this discussion.

nuttyjimbob, these comments were left quite a while ago, so you're just trying to restart an argument that has already finished. And as you can proabably see, it did matter to a lot of people about whether it was fork or forks, and i am included in that.

Aha punching your mate because he said forks would be funny lol, "I just bought some new forks" its not FORKS its Fork for f*ck sake, 'WHACK'. To be honest you's are all idiots for keep on arguing about this it doesnt matter if it is fork or forks all we know is its a sweet ass set of fox 40's.

pierpoint33 shut the fuck up youre fucking retarded. no one knows what the fuck a doylem is so youre pussy attempt at an insult was just a waste of youre time. get out this ended quite some time ago

Colin994, I had do idea what a doylem was either so i had a quick loooook on the ole urban dictionary. Apparently a "doylem" is a"Geordie word meaning a complete and utter idiot". Doesn't really sound like much of an insult to me.

Why would i want to offend someone over the internet though, so that actually makes you a doylem.And hows a fucking ass whipe an insult, ive had better insults told me from a teacher, and retarded is the shittest of shit comebacks, and yes if i wanted my comeback i would have wiped it off of your mum's flaps.
- 4 0
yer however "ass wipe" and "retard" are generally known insults. Whereas you used doylem which is from the scummy northeastern corner of England. And is only known by people from that general area. btw a doylem sounds like the kind of thing a teacher would use as an insult.

Ahahaha worst comeback i have heard in my life especially since you live right next to LONDON you wanker, id rather live in Pakistan then London and thats the biggest shit hole ever.

Hmmn London or Newcastle? I think i'd pick London everyday of the week. Also I don't actually live in London, so yer good one. And the reason you would rather live in Pakistan is because you live in Newcastle So anywhere is a step up from that. Oh yer and not everything is a comeback, before this comment i was simply stating a fairly obvious point. But since being a geordie you probably prefer to talk in terms of fights or arguments.

I didnt say you lived in london you dopey fuck, and i definitely would fight you instead of argue over the internet your a wanker. And there is nothing wrong with newcastle if you had ever been their you would know that!

im pretty sure its 'forks' not 'fork'. If i went into a bike shop and said- "can you fix these fork?" makes no scence.

The lack of common sense in this discussion is worrying.
"These" is always referring to a plural object, so of course it doesn't sound right to use it with a singular object.
"Fork" is a singular variation, so you would need to use a word that properly refers to a singular object.
ex. "Fix my fork." - "Fix this fork." - "Fix that fork."

pierpoint33...you're not understanding
how many legs legs does a fork have? a fork has 2 legs.
Say you're driving, and all of a sudden theres a fork in the road?

like a lot of things, americans and brits pronounce things differently, over here it is pronounced "forks" (usually) and over the pond in the us its pronounced "fork" (again, usually)
hope that sums up this somewhat useless argument.

rippin-norco, unfortunately i thought this was over, clearly i was wrong. I dont think that the lefty fork can actually be a fork since it only has one leg, and every fork i have ever seen has at least two: argyle's, pitch forks, forks you eat off. The fork with only one leg is commonly known as a knife

well, ive got a simpler answer moongose, everyone that disagrees with saying it the other way, should, SHUT THE FUCK UP! not aimed twards you, unless you think it can only be said one way wich is fucking retarded, ifyou think about it.. you cant only say car, in some cases you have to say cars.. almost any word is like that, unless its a word like deer , see there are many deer, and , there is a deer, there are many forks, and, there is a fork....

I have no idea what you meant there, but we know them as 5er bags, 10er bags, 20bags, half ounce and that, i dont do that stuff myself but some friends do, its funny to watch people when they are stoned i reckon.
- 2 0
yeh 5 bag is a gram of weed a cigarello it a cigar, they sell them as one for 99 cents, so if u got $6.05 cents u buy a gram for $5 then a cigarello for 99 cents plus tax so $1.05, then u break the cigar gut it then roll it with the weed then you got a blunt,so for only six dollars and five cents you could get high as hell.. @thecheeseychizter, i had to laugh at that one.. everything is even funnier when ur baked... but the experience of being high s just great, its like being in a dream where you are playing a video game of ur life, pierpoint, if ur friends do it, im just sayin maybe ushould try it once, its not addicting so unless everythign goes good and u liked it , (like my first time) you wont be really wanting to do it again..

yeah but it tastes like shit and gives you a migrane. stick to the headies or danks and fuck all that other schwag. if youre going to smoke make sure its the best even if you gotta pay extra. so worth it. just got done with a salad slice of mr nice guy gdp and bubba kush. leeeeeegit vape bong hits err night

yeh i get the dank bud sometime, usually when i got lots to spend , but since i dont have any sort of steady income, i just get mids , bcuz its more for ur money , cuz if its weed, ur gonna get high , then ur gonna come off it sooner or later, and i always like to have more waiting , like if i bought $20 a gram thats one blunt and thats it, or like 2 bowls, but if i get 4 grams thats a blunt, 1 bowl when i buz out a lil , another bowl for when i buz out a lil again(thats roughly 7 hours of bing high), then i can do the same tomorrow.. but like im saying , the weed here is probably cheaper,

That's enough!!! I didn't see one comment with correct grammar and spelling throu out,(which seems to be a large part of the argument)this one probably won't because just like these people ^ I'm to lazy to check but atleast I tried! It's a funny picture, not everyperson needs to put there 2 cents in! MOve on and find some thing CONSTRUCTIVE to do or maybe just maybe GO AND RIDE YOUR BIKE!!!!

yes. im that guy who brings this whole thing back to life.

hey why doesnt everyone just call it a f***ing "shock" like all those noobs! and either that or pb takes a poll on what ots called and makes it the industry f*cking word for that beautiful piece of machinery that absorbs all the impact when we huck to flat. seriously, there are like 638 comments on this, and then some potheads turned it in to smart buyer price comparisons for weed.

larryssman7, when you get a bike that isn't a schwinn come join this argument. It's not called a, 'shock' because thats what us downhillers have for rear travel, and even then the word isn't used. And, whats wrong with weed? Scientifically proved, by the government, that it actually helps cure cancer.

BLIPDH believe it or not it's been proven that the cannabinoids found in marijuana are not only a natural part of our bodies chemistry, but they are also able to destroy the mitochondria in cancer cells, while leaving healthy cells alone. You live in California, one of the leading states in the testing and use of medical marijuana & hemp. Educate yourself.

"cannabinoids," I forgot that word, I'll try and link you guys to the study.

@rippingnorco, from what i see from MY "profile check to see who we're dealing with" is that i can jump my schwinn better than you can on your spiffy dirtjumper, also i can table better than your "2seasons old photo" and can throw whips A LOT farther than your step up pic, and also, dont go insulting my bike, its seen more than you ever will. also id be very much obliged if you offered to give me a new bike so that i could "join this argument". not all of us can afford 2011 tr250s with a fox FORK, rich boy. also from one of your comments above you said: "making people mad online is fun", so i would place you with your "i think pinbike is full of immature, like minded trolls". and for the record, its "FORK"
- 1 1
And you're mad. I don't really want to get into this argument again, so yes. I'm rich, i'm a terrible biker, i'm immature, you're the better human being here, and you're also probably far better at whips then I will ever be. Happy?
- 2 1
yes im happy, thank you very much. also i like to think of myself as the supermarket bike guy, or the shitbike challenge from bikemag
- 1 1
really? Do you really think of yourself like that? Everyone involved in the shitbike challenge was a professional, and took it to some of the highest degrees of riding, and supermarket bike guy, he's a f*cking amazing rider. You're not. You just ride a shitty bike.

Actually, The "40" means 40mm stantions. and there is two stantions. so actually it is "40's"

Does it make a difference if its a 29er? I'm pretty confident that it would definitely be forks then...

Hello! Greetings! I am from the future, I wish to summon all reason and rath from previous comments on this thread from the legendary demo, mongoose, slyfox, and downhiller900 and others which have put their part in this infinite debate of forks and fork,
It is my time to go now

@Steezwhip: I too am from the future, and I have been sent to end your puerile squabbling. It shall henceforth be known as a ... "spork"
Or is it a ffork... (fox fork)?

Bloody hell. I just spent about 15 mins reading all these petty arguments about 'fork' or 'forks', 'pant' or 'pants' and 'sunglass' or 'sunglasses'. When it looked like it was finally about to end some arse went and posted another comment or copied and pasted something off wiki. At the end of the day it doesnt matter whether you choose to say 'Got a new fox 40' or 'Got my new fox 40's'. It still conveys the exact same message with absoulutely no confusion or misunderstanding. Its just how people say it, in the same way i say trousers but you americans say pants (this is relevant btw as someone was using pant vs. pants in their argument). Only the complete freaks among us feel the need to analyse the language and grammar on what is in the first place a casual and informal website. Now please, STOP this pathetic argument its doing my head in and i think its safe to say i speak on behalf of everyone who has had to endure reading all the comments. Stop. End off. Non grammar comments below please

this string of comments is hilarious, im dyslexic so im a gonner in grammer terms so dont get all up in my flow bout grammer.... but
ive always called em forks, and a fork when i feel like it come to think of it. all u flipping noobs need to chill the flip out with whether they're forks or a fork who gives a monkeys nip what gary to left calls it. sorry if im a bit late in my entry but i wanted to get involved in all this bikering as ive got nothing else to do right now.
now, if u think one way is correct over another ur a god damn noob

Im pretty sutr in this case only, it would be considered Fox 40's. Not that I dont get the whole plural snd singular argument. but when you refer to fox's 40 fork, you are referring to the size of the stanchions. Which there are two of which would make it either Fox's 40 fork or a nice set of 40's refering to the two stanchions. There is no such thing as "forks" the fork is one component which makes it singular. Onve again I think this only works with 40's and wont work the same with the boxxer...

now coming from a motorcycle shop, if the unit as a whole is a fork, how can you tell the shop guys that the left fork seal needs replaced. same components as the bicycle set up. two stanchions... never mind. after looking at the picture again, the fork she is holding is a solid piece. motorcycle forks aren't connected to each other. you can replace the left fork, or the right fork. with these you would have to replace the entire unit, the 'fork' as a whole. the point i was going to make is invalid, and typing this out has clarified my understanding as to why it is referred to as a 'fork' instead of 'forks'. funny read though. can't believe it went on this long...

holy shit people its fox 40s becuase tere is to stanchoin and 2 lower boots for the stnachion, and each of them are 40 milimeterS its its a god damn f*cking pair of fox 40s!! so shut the f*ck up//
- 1 0
you do not have the proper reasoning. it is a given fact that each fork has 2 stanctions, as well 2 lowers to house said stanctions. however, this does not make the fork a 'pair'. it is not a pair. and never will be. i dont car what you think, but you are so incredibly wrong it makes me sick. its a fork. it is one singular fork. that happens to have 2 seperate stanctions. the survey says. makonastynky is weetaaawwded

who said its for her grandson, shes having her biked worked on at the shop, snapped a boxxer had to run out for some 40's
