So i made a thread a few ago asking what was going on with my forks. The replies said that i should take better pics, but i was too lazy and i didnt. I have now, my question is basically if these pair will last. This is how it looked like 3 days ago: Photo

What worries me is the dropout area, where that kind of line is. What do you guys think? (sorry for the quality)

open one of the pics with paint and circle the line.. I don't see what you mean.

Are you afraid it's a crack or something?

Bro.... that's a weld. Whats your worry here? Unless you're seeing cracks forming, nothing wrong with your fork at all.

My old Fit fork actually did have a crack form along the weld line on the dropout. You can tell right away if you have a crack or not; it'll appear darker and maybe have some rust.

I know that its the weld but in that part the weld sinks (if that the proper verb to use) I will try to get pitures with better quality in a few

No I see what you mean by 'sinking'. Its slightly lower in one area than the rest. Still nothing to worry about. It may not look perfect but they're strong welds, they'll hold.

Keep an eye on it if it worries you that much, but there's nothing wrong with your fork.

it should be fine, but, as i think you said they were stock forks, just get aftermarket ones eventually
