Eighty-One Customs.

It is a different to an SCS, this clamp still uses Slotted bars. The bars still go over the top of the thread, thus still keeping the strength. The real only differance it that the clamp has a sized 10mm thread in the first stage. This winds down, cant be overtightened

But this is in no way meant to be a replacement for an SCS system.
It gives a better choice for the rider that sticks with threaded forks.
Also works with much stronger forks, Dominators etc

But everyone has there own opinion
Keep a look out cause 81 are releasing a Compression clamp in January

as a scooter rider from the uk i support uk based companies but
I think threaded is beginning to be ruled out to be honest even some completes are coming with thread-less forks its like pivotal seats came around in bmx who uses railed seats now ? and a product like this is not going to make people run threaded if they did not in the first place ( already narrowing the costumer base ), im not disrespecting you or the company but this is a scooter forum made up of the scootering public these are the people who you want the opinion of and id say probably 85 to 90 % of the community that are serious about scootin and have been at it for a long time run thread-less anyway.
looking forward to seeing the compression clamp though

I agree, the market is going threadless
Which is why 81 has spent time making the compression clamp for January.
The Blok just gives a competative and unique edge to the riders left using threaded.
To be honest I dont know many Pro's riding threaded forks. Nothing seams to last them that long.

I was only defending the safety of the Product.
Sure there will be lots of people that hate it and plenty that love it.

And yea the Compression clamp is something thats gonna be cool.

Feedback is always appreciated good or bad

you should make a thread in the uk section
promote the products to the people who will buy them and get the uk section rolling again , two birds one stone
but seriously if 81 customs get there game on with the compression i have high hopes and if they fill the gaps in the market with some legit UK 3 piece barrs (like buffs ) and some crowbar style bars they will get soooo many customers!

 

[Oli Little]
