slayers if you do a lot of barspins, b/c the buff clamp will HURT

also, I FINALLY REALIZED WHY YOU CANT HAVE SLITS ON YOUR BARS WITH THE NEW COMPRESSION!! if you have slits, the bars will be squeezed together and have the ability to slide out of the clamp. without them there, the clamp will lock it in place.

I just had an idea come to me, for one-piece decks.
Well since it is connected, the headtube will come in either Standard or Integrated right?
I just thought of something, since you have access to CNC machines.
Release one type of headtube, that fits Standard cups.
And machine cups that fit in a Standard headtube, but hold Integrated bearings, because all integrated headtubes are the same.

This way you won't have to buy a deck with a certain headtube and only be able to use that type of headset.
This would also support your whole plan to slowly incorporate your new parts, this way people won't have to buy an integrated headset right away.

Yeah I know I'm pretty awesome :p

Idk if the notch idea is worth it. Then the forks would only work with the clamp.... In the end it just creates compatability issues. Unless the strip on the forks that goes in the notch is removable somehow? I think its easy enough for people to set their bars straight themselves.

The clamp itself looks pretty dialed and well made. Still too many bolts for me though :)
Incorrect.
There would be a corresponding notch in the bars and fork aswell just like on the clamp, and a separate key that would fit into all these notches, making all 3 parts (bars, deck, clamp) to be in one line. Five extra dollars must be a big deal i guess.

The key would be removable, that's my point. So it's still compatible with everything.

Madis I'm starting to not like your cocky attitude. You jump at the opportunity to correct people without even thinking.
Re-read what I wrote then tell me what I was incorrect about?
But thanks for answering my question.:)


And yeah Adrew your right I didnt even think about the fact that both ends of the clamp are connected. So when the threads dig into the clamp it would be closed more on the fork end than the handlebar end which would fork some things up.
