It was also handy for tucking in and pushing through headwinds during the last half of Unbound 200.
REDSHIFT SHOCKSTOP STEM FREE
Gripping near the base of the extensions made the bike feel free to move under power and optimized my posture on the bike. Contrary to my expectations that the narrowly spaced grips would be most beneficial on the flats, I used the added hand position primarily for seated climbing. I think it would be useful for road to gravel transitions but also wonder if it wouldn’t work better than the redshift as you can basically add tension whenever you run a handlebar bag. The "loop" was an excellent addition to my Waheela C. The new cane creek Eesilk stem looks like the redshift but has a pseudo lockout to dial stiffness on the fly. There was plenty of room for GPS mounts and other accessories near the stem. The 7-degree sweep was a benefit in this regard as moving the stem down also pushed the bar forward. I did not need the 20mm rise and made minor stem and spacer adjustments to compensate. All MTB stems are delivered free to the UK mainland. I was pleased to find that the bar and super-compliant Really Long Bar Tape worked well with my PNW dropper lever. Redshift Sports ShockStop Suspension Stem 179.99 or just 30.00 per month with 0 APR finance. PACK OF 5 Contains one of each 50, 60, 70, 80, and 90 durometer elastomer (softest to hardest).
REDSHIFT SHOCKSTOP STEM PRO
I was aware of surface undulations, but the Shockstop is so reactive that no impacts or vibrations made it to the saddle.Setup was easy, but following instructions was key to correct placement and mounting of the Cruise Control system. REPLACEMENT ELASTOMER KIT The ShockStop Elastomer Kit provides a set of replacement elastomers that are compatible with all sizes and variations of the Redshift ShockStop Suspension Stem, and ShockStop Suspension PRO Stem. The result was simply extraordinary comfort. With the knowledge that my tyre volume and pressure could cope with the sort of impacts I normally try to avoid, I steered towards the roughest patches of tarmac, potholes, ancient cobbles and uneven gravel. At the suggested preload setting, I immediately felt neutrally suspended and didn’t notice any negative effect on seated pedalling. The small unweighted saddle height increase needs a slight adjustment when mounting up for the first time. When weight is added to the post a link compresses the internal spring(s), creating user-adjustable sag, which Redshift recommends should be around 20 per cent of the 35mm total travel. Its two-bolt saddle clamp remains level atop a parallelogram linkage pivoting on dry-lube bushings. Turn the preload plug to the required position and fit the post. Numbers one to five are printed within its thread pitch and relate to rider weight and the spring(s). With the main spring fitted, my unit weighed 538g.Ī preload adjusting plug in the base of the seatpost tunes the suspension.
REDSHIFT SHOCKSTOP STEM INSTALL
Redshift suggests that riders up to 80kg should only use the main spring and those from 90kg to 110kg must install the inner spring as well. Benefits of a Suspension Seatpost Go further - seatpost suspension helps to reduce fatigue from bumps and vibrations with a superior shock absorber. Its larger main spring is pre-installed and a smaller diameter inner spring is supplied – to be fitted within it if a stiffer spring rate is necessary. Along with the ShockStop Suspension Stem, this suspension system works together to reduce fatigue and strain, letting you ride further, faster, and more comfortably. There is no much competition in terms of providing more comfort at the front of the bike apart from adding a suspension fork. But it gained a lot of coverage worldwide as it should be. Unlike existing designs, the Shockstop uses springs to provide its suspension. Redshift Shockstop stem is a product of a small start-up from the USA.
