You BEAUTY!!!
How does it work though? Looks a tad confusing, but it could be a lifesaver!

Thanks

Ever used an old quill stem? Same as that. Basically, there's a bolt through to the wedge at the bottom, which pulls the wedge up, tightening it inside the steerer tube. I assume that there's a thread of some kind inside the top section on this as well to allow an ahead top cap to be used to preload the headset in the normal way.

I am ever so sorry for my spelling mistakes. I am rather frustrated at the moment, not being able to use my new supspension forks, so i am not going to be putting my every effort into my spelling. I hope you can understad...
