[QUOTE="chornbe, post: 150431, member: 3119"] That's the Griffen Air Click - Remote control for my iPod :) The pins are a no-pressure fit into the tree. They're press-fitted into the bars only for the purposes of ensuring you have them for lining up. They're not deep into the holes and the casting they go into will break under extreme loads before those anemic pins will do any good (imo). The cast webbing between the holes is thin, and just the fact that it's cast aluminum means it's not made for high-stress use. In my educated estimation, the pins are hovering between useless and trivial-at-best when it comes to actually keeping things seated under load. Aftermarket wheels are held into cars with the same principal these bars are: bolts are securing two flat surfaces and the average wannabe chrome wheel on the average hopped up camaro or civic takes *far* more abuse, and directional and torque changes than these handlebars do.
