was just browsing the store, and I came upon this. Is it possible for anything to be told about this? It is probably confidential, but it would be awesome for anything. The store also looks updated, which is good. If any information is giving, thank you in advance. If not, thank you anyways, for giving more to the sport.

i hope someone made a better compression system, i hate this one. i have kinda been thinking about designing one, but not really.

well I had an idea of a compression system that is kinda more like what they have on bikes - where you drill a hole right through your t tube and have a threaded rod going from the top of your t tube all the way through your bars and then to the bottom of your fork. This would suck though because you would have a nut and a washer sticking out of the top of your t tube. Or if you had a welder you could probably weld something flat onto the top of the threaded rod, or you could heat it up in a forge and then bang the top of it with a hammer until it spreads out a bit lmao.

I think so too, but this is for people who either homemade some threadless forks and most likely live outside the US so they can't get the SR kit, or it can also be for people who are retarded and can't figure out how to put a starnut in.

I think It sort of reinforces your fork to stop it from ovalising/bending as a result of over tightening your stem and it also acts as a compression system (maybe) Im not sure ill ask my dad in the morning he is a bike wizz

welll, basically instead of a starnut you have that metal piece that goes into your fork tube and it's much like the ones they have on barends so you can take it off and put it in waaaaaaaay easier. In my opinion it's fucking genius and would work way better than starnuts.

that could work, if you had a very long alen key or maybe use a hex head bolt and socket idea.
heres my sketch of how it could work

I think that works the same as a regular compression system, except it is tightened into position. Since it is slanted when you tighten it it would expand.
