If you have one fork (for eating) there are multiple prongs on it, it is called a fork not forks. if you have one fork on your like most people do, then it is a FORK. the pants argument does not apply, because then you would have to call each of the two sides of your fork a fork. ITS FORK.

there are two fork legs on a bike just as there are pants and almost the same as a eating fork (just minus two) so two legs = forks

I was walking along and I came to a forks in the road.
I was eating dinner and I raised my forks to my mouth.
I was riding my bike and my forks broke.

Nope. That's not right. None of those are correct.

duno if its been said but i believe you should say

"Fork" for when its a certain that has been custom tuned/painted/altered to differ it from its stock form

and

"Forks" for if it is just a stock fork that there are many others exactly like

Wikipedia says fork.

Fox Racing says fork. Check the 32 Float page, first line.

Manitou says fork.

White Brothers says fork. Check the last line on the Groove 200.

So when you come to a split in a trail you can take the left fork or right fork correct? Then there are 2 forks to choose from. Big Grin Where's the beat a dead horse emoticon when we need it?

No, when you come to a fork in the path/road/trail, you take the right path/road/trail or the left path/road/trail.

Don't eat me alive with a DM rant, please.

Who gives a sh*t? Just ride them in singular or in plural!

edit: or if this troubles your mind too much be gay and call it front shock!

But are there not 2 forks to choose from? If one refers to one route or another as a singular fork that they might take then you must assume that together they are plural.

I actually don't think that each way is a fork. You arrive at a fork. And then there are two (or more) ways to go.
Plus, look at all of the companies. They all say fork.
Even if it is seemingly grammatically incorrect, one should call it a fork.
