The Kinekt ended up on my electric cargo bike because it just doesn't feel or look right on a performance-oriented bike. The Shockstop fits standard 1 1/8in steerers, with an adapter available if you have a quill stem and shims needed for smaller diameters.

This means that procedures reflect general practice and standards applicable at the time resources were produced and cannot be assumed to be acceptable today.The FutureShock offers axial (vertical) compliance, where the bars bob up and down, whilst this system relies on splay compliance meaning they move slightly fore and aft. The Bike Computer Mount is an integrated mount that is compatible with your Garmin, Powertap/CycleOps Joule, CatEye, Mio, or Magellan computer. As the name suggests, the Redshift Sports Shockstop Stem helps to reduce the effect of impacts and buzz from the road, resulting in reduced fatigue and strain in the hands and wrists.

Although, as he spends a fair bit of his time reviewing ebikes these days he's becoming an expert in letting the motor take the strain. I was fully expecting the ShockStop to be a slightly nicer-looking version of the suspension stems of yore. 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. In fairness though, the Redshift stem delivers on what it says and for that I can’t fault it, it’s just not for me. We've got you covered - just add the shim that matches your seatpost diameter and the ShockStop will fit perfectly with your bike.This was quite a feat given I was mostly riding the stiffer, less-cushioning carbon wheelset at the time.

Measure your current seatpost from the clamp collar to the saddle rail and refer to the chart above to choose your preferred size. The elastomers are rated for stiffness using a durometer scale from 50 to 90, with 90 being the stiffest.When on the tops, you can't sense movement pressing down – perhaps due to the lack of weight leverageable through your bent forearms. 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).
