Anyone seen this? The latest attempt at a bicycle steering damper, apparently intended for e-bikes and bikepackers... I remember a few tries at dampers before, but nothing that stuck around. People always lauded them when they tested them, though. (Then again what media outlet doesn't laud every new product?) I like them for motorcycles, but motos and bicycles are of course a different use case.
This seems like an inexpensive, simple way to do it...apparently they have a set of interleaving plates set similar to a motorcycle clutch which provide the friction, keeping the whole thing internal to the headset. They only run smooth because of grease, though, so there's another occasional repack situation. I still kinda wonder if it's worthy trying out for general riding.
