That thing with the headset is for carbon fiber, fork, instead of a star nut

Those are for carbon forks where you can't use a star nut. It expands to provide equal pressure against the carbon tube.

The clamp for the headset is for carbon steerer tubes found on high end road forks. A regular star nut style would mar the steerer tube and possibly damage it.

Just ordered my first ever air fork from jenson. I went with 120mm recon rl tapered boost 115x110 thru axle. It was just under 200 out the door as an oem take off 2022 model. Should suit my axum nicely.

Because you're avoiding the Chinese market, there's a company called Magicbros that does a 27.5/29" boost XC/Trail air fork called Victor. It comes in 120 or 140mm travel, 34mm stantions. They produce their own inhouse dampers that they sell aftermarket to even revive old oil bath Bombers. Multi thread pitches for caps. That alone differentiates them as a brand compared to cheap Bucklos/etc. The stantions are advertised as quite thick (no paper thin self-destruction issues hopefully). It's very stiff. Two part bolt-thru (boot and nut). I've got it on an exercise bike for light trails. Very stiff action when pumped up for heavier riders. But light, stiff and cheap for bikes that need 120 or 140mm.

I’m 290 lbs I wouldn’t put a $13 stem or a cheap handlebar in there. You are more of a small build but I wouldn’t risk it for me, knowing how much more weight and impact I’d put on that front end. I do have an OTR with the rockshox recon silver RL and love it!

Yeah, I usually mention stuff like that while filming but sometimes The Tick edits it out. Myself being a bigger guy I definitely look at things differently than The Tick does. I will admit that after messing with so many "budget stems" I don't worry as much as I used to on stems but I would if I rode like a younger person.

I just bought adapter end caps. 9x100. 9 to 15. Adapters. Then you can buy 15x100 through axles rims and it makes it QR instead of through axle. Then you can buy an upgraded fork that's mostly thru axle or boost rim
