That can never work = relatively expensive scrap!

The article is great mischief. The clamping is to be generated by means provided with clamping ribs Alloy sleeves which are spread by means of a screw-operated clamping wedge. Now, provided with clamping ribs sleeve is made of light metal.

A light metal alloy is known to be mainly made of aluminum and therefore it is relatively soft and brittle. Most handlebar tubes are however bent from a steel tube. Steel is harder than Alloy, therefore will never be able to press the clamping ribs into the steerer tube, but simply deform. This can result in either a positive engagement, let alone a reasonable traction.

If the manufacturer hardened steel sleeves, instead of the light metal sleeves used, the clamping principle would have a realistic chance. In this product the proof has been furnished that well thought not always means well done once again. The product is thus a relatively expensive metal scrap and unsuitable probably in most cases for which it is intended! The manufacturer should consequently withdraw from the market, or a material change to perform!
