Same idea as the Girvin Flexstem that I fitted to my mountain bike nearly 30 years ago and which was very effective in those pre suspension fork days. Nothing new under the sun. 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.

The Bike Computer Mount is an integrated mount that is compatible with your Garmin, Powertap/CycleOps Joule, CatEye, Mio, or Magellan computer. Should you put a front suspension and a Redshift stem at the same level when it comes to smoothing out trail buzz?

One of the most impressive parts of the stem is how it doesn’t bob up and down under normal riding conditions or even standing and climbing! Every time I tried to hate the stem it showed me how well it performed. I was an early adopter of the stem and am a convert. I have one on my CX training bike and it provides just the right amount of comfort suspension. To me, it feels like the amount of “suspension” a perfectly inflated tire gives you. I’ve ridden mine where ever my bike takes me, from the road to riding my CX bike on mountain bike trails in the area. 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.

Take control - customize your suspension feel to float over obstacles and maintain control over rough terrain Suspension Stem Features This confirms the difference in effective travel, which is claimed to be 20mm on drop bars when holding the hoods and 10mm on flat bars. Alternate method: Use a fabric or paper measuring tape (or print one at https://printable-ruler.net/ ) and measure the circumference of the steerer tube. You will need to remove the compression cap and loosen the two pinch bolts to get access to your steerer tube so be sure you are comfortable in doing so and then reassembling properly. 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 tooBetter performance & complete control - customize your suspension seatpost feel to float over obstacles and maintain traction and control.

they failed at the pivot. You don't want that to happen. Hopefully the different design here isolates them Diameter: The 27.2mm diameter requires the addition of optional shims for seat-tube diameters up to 31.8mm 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. Compatibility: The stem is compatible with both road and mountain bikes and 1-1/8″ and 1-1/4″ steerer tubes, making it suitable for a wide range of bike frames.During much of the test period I was riding 50mm carbon aero wheels with 25mm tubeless tyres – a rather radical departure from my usual 24mm alloy rims and 28mm tubeless. How does it feel? I use on my Kinesis Tripster and I mostly ride bridleways and towpaths and it has made a big difference to my comfort levels. Pros: Reduces road buzz and hand and arm fatigue, looks like a normal stem, 10 options of rise/length

The gel bartape comparison is not applicable - gel bar tape compresses by maybe a mm and damps higher-frequency vibration, the stem shifts 20mm to smooth out bigger hits.In the drops, with more weight forward, under hard pedalling efforts you can feel the bar give forwards, but it's a small movement and doesn't detract or distract from getting on with the effort.
