    Anodizing gives a very tough finish. The GS forks are anodized and have been holding up very well, much better than the fork clamps, which appear to be powder coated.I just wonder if the treatment would make thin Aluminium more brittle?

    I had that thought for a short time but realised that that window flashings at work dont become brittle compared to milled aluminium flashings
