Tell us what the product is for and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it? mm is common on older road bikes with drop handlebars. - There are other less common sizes that we do not provide shims for. However, other handlebar shim sizes may be available at your local bike shop. If you are unable to measure the length of your existing stem then choose 100 mm. This is one of the most common lengths and tends to be a good fit for most people. Kinekt says, "Introducing the Revolutionary Stem that is designed to reduce arm, wrist, and shoulder discomfort. Adjustable, Compact, and built to last. The Ultimate Upgrade."

to status. UK residents only. Sigma Sports Limited acts as a broker “Licence Number 688619” and not Its two-bolt saddle clamp remains level atop a parallelogram linkage pivoting on dry-lube bushings. 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. 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. The travel changes due to leverage. When you’re on the hoods you get more travel than when in the drops or on the top of the bar. This used - by 2020 standards - narrow tyres and high pressures (23 mm and 116 psi), 77 kg rider, and showed that the TransX equated to dropping the pressure to 102 psi. The Redshift was a lot better, the equivalent being 78 psi.

Alternate method: Use a fabric or paper measuring tape (or print one at https://printable-ruler.net/ ) and measure the circumference of the handlebar right next to your existing stem While testing, I would go as far as to say that the stem has transformed the gravel bike and comfort offered when ridden on typical British terrain.

But, in the case that you have a smaller diameter handlebar, we also have shims available for 26.0 mm and 25.4 mm handlebar sizes. Pros: Reduces road buzz and hand and arm fatigue, looks like a normal stem, 10 options of rise/length Have ShoskStop stems on a couple of bikes and find them great particularly on fast descents where high impact bumps can throw your hands off the bars and affect your vision. I preferred to go softer on the elastomers than suggested (10 on one bike and 20 on the other) but as said there's no sense of compression with normal riding and no diving under braking but going down hill above 30mph and the stem absorbs the impacts with little change on handling feel. if you want that softer ride, I wouldn't waste time with a flexstem reinvented, I'd look at short travel front forks. Or just fatter tyres at a lower pressure, which, as the reviewer points out, smooth things out too

From 80 through to 120mm in ten-millimetre increments and with the option for integrated tech mount out front, the stem is available for many different tastes and fits. At the core of the design are two elastomers that give the ICS MTT its suspension by pivoting on the oversized axle at the base of the stem’s extension. While 20mm of travel may seem limited, the effect is instant and noticeable. While there is no direct comparison with other suspension stems, other forms of suspension are aimed towards the same market.

You can measure the length of your existing stem as shown in the following picture. The length is measured from the center of the handlebar to the center of the steerer tube. Not sure what size seatpost you have currently? There are a couple different ways to find out.• Most seatposts have the diameter printed somewhere near the bottom of the post. You'll need to remove the seatpost from the bike frame (mark your existing seatpost height with a bit of tape before you remove it so you can replace it easily), and look for a number like 27.2, 30.9, or 31.6 (etc.). That is the diameter of the post. Take control - customizing your suspension feel to float over obstacles so you can maintain control Stem Details: Its parallelogram, spring-damped design allows around 20mm of travel, and although it won't take the sting out of larger impacts it does a good job of taming high-frequency vibrations and smaller jolts.It works in a subtle way, squashing sudden bumps and effectively smoothing incessantly rough surfaces. I found the recommended set-up ideal, but you can tune it to suit your preference. Any bag that just attaches to the saddle or just attaches to the post is fine. But when you attach to both the post and the saddle you need to account for the relative motion of the saddle to the post. This means that if you cinch down the bag when off the bike it might have some movement when you get on the saddle and compress the post a bit - this might not be a problem but it might be something that is an issue.

is our standard size, but we added the 280, 400, 450mm to allow for a wider range of fits. Measure your current seatpost from the clamp collar to the saddle rail: Sadly I couldn't work out what the effect would be if tyres and pressures were already wider and lower. On my Al road bike, which is pretty buzzy (hence my burgeoning obsession with this) I'm on 28 mm and 70 ish psi. Any lower and a feeling of vagueness like Matt Lucas impersonating Boris Johnson comes in as the speed gets above 35 km/h (descending only, I seldom get a tailwind for that speed on the flat). The bottom of range Michelins might be a factor. So this might help a bit. Fit: The stem only comes in a 6-degree angle and a few lengths which can be very limiting to some riders.Take control - customize your suspension feel to float over obstacles and maintain control over rough terrain Suspension Stem Features year-old Jo Jobson due to be sentenced on Wednesday for his part in armed robbery of Cavendish and his wife, Peta, at their home in Essex in November 2021 Reduced fatigue: By reducing the amount of stress and fatigue on your body, a suspension seatpost can help you to conserve energy and ride for longer without feeling as tired. The easiest way to determine your handlebar size is to see if it's printed on the handlebar. This will require removing your current stem faceplate. Ride faster - feeling refreshed from the energy that is normally wasted suspending your body as it is converted into forward motion
