there is a little rubber washer you put on your fork then you screw on the clamp til its tight enough and then you put your bars on and done
how the hell do you use it with threadless forks?

so its like a clamp/nut/compression system for threaded forks? quite innovative
If by innovative you mean COMPLETELY USELESS. A stock Razor lock nut does all the compressing you need for threaded...
Just use one of those and spend the rest on a good clamp.. lol.
I've never seen someone's bars come off with a properly tightened clamp. The "Blok" adds horrifying stress to the thin threaded walls of the fork. If this is anything like an SCS, this is a huge fork breaker..
You are obviously a profesional engineer to comment that this clamp is useless.
1. It has been trialed and certified to be a safer choice by three independant British standard companys.
2. Tested and trialed by not only 81 custom riders but over 250 random give aways.
3. Endorsed!!!! product
They clamp is designed in such a way that the thread cannot be overtightened to the forks, therefore does not add Horrifying stress to the wall of the forks.
Im sure you havnt tested it, I have been luckily enough tested it, still use it and still love it.
In my opinion it could be designed to look better but you cant have everything
I'm no pro, but it looks like it screws down onto the fork, then clamps onto the bars separately, like the SCS compression system, yes?
If so, a standard -threaded- fork, which is already prone to breaking, will basically now have even more leverage to stress the fork. How many of the 250 people are actually decent riders? If I gave a stock wheel to 250 little kids im sure it would last them a while. But if i gave it to a professional rider, it would last minutes.
unless the wall is like .120 or more, i think the force of the clamp on the fork will cause it to break much faster than normal.
Like you said, I've never tried one (never will, threaded is balls anyway), but I'm just saying it's bulky, unnecessary, more expensive, and probably more dangerous than standard threaded compression..

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
