I'll test them out thoroughly with my 183 pounds of pure fat ass before my 100 lb kid rides the bike . . .

Until then, my expectations - the front is strong, it is 1/4" aluminum stock in a U shape, bolted to the front and rear of the fork crown. The brake bolt goes through both legs of the U using a long recessed nut. The rear I'm less sure about, but rears do skid easily.
