Cannondales had several varieties of aluminum forks, "Pepperoni" with curved legs and "P-Bone" with straight legs. The Pepperoni on my XR800 flexed in tune with the brake chatter before I had them adjusted properly, and it's kind of frightening to watch how far it can flex. Nevertheless, the ride is stiff.
