Man, this guy...
1. Split triple clamps aren't for "a lot of flex". they are to reduce crimping the outdoor fork tube and thus preventing binding as the inner and outer bushings slide past the clamp points. They are to maintain a smooth fork action while allowing good holding power with less clamp force.
2. The "Reflective flake" is carbon fiber lol.
3. Its a motocross bike. Hard seats are necessary.
