Includes 5 swappable elastomers (2 pre-installed, 3 additional) to customise the ride feel for your bike, weight, and riding style.Come and see us! We're on the doorstep of Flyup417 Bike Park, Cranham Woods, Cotswolds Way and an hour away from the Forest of Dean.

It all started a couple of years ago when I started doing serious gravel riding events. Starting out on a full carbon cyclocross bike it soon became clear that the pounding my body was getting was becoming the limiting factor (maybe an age thing as well), after finishing the Dirty Reiver 200 km gravel event in Kielder forest in 2017 I started looking at all ways to limit the pain.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. Even though all Redshift products pass the ISO 4210 tests with margin, all aluminum components are subject to fatigue failure over a sufficiently long period of use. Hours ridden, riding conditions, and rider weight are all significant factors that make it impossible to declare an exact lifespan for any given product. The Bike Computer Mount is an integrated mount that is compatible with your Garmin, Powertap/CycleOps Joule, CatEye, Mio, or Magellan computer. For looks, quality and attention to detail I will give the stem 9.5 out of 10 (.5 lost for the boxy look) Redshift Sports are genuine innovators. Their first foray into cycling component design was the clip-on aerobars and dual seatpost for triathletes. Essentially these products were designed for the beginner triathlete aiming to simply and easily convert their road bike into a triathlon bike position in only a few seconds (there are some images below of these products).

The elastomers naturally dampen the feeling of the road or gravel, creating a smoother ride. The effective suspension travel is up to 20mm on a drop bar road bike and up to 10mm on a flat bar road bike. I’ve covered 150 miles and about 15000 ft of climbing (as what goes up must come down, the same descent). 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. Ride faster - feeling refreshed from the energy that is normally wasted suspending your body as it is converted into forward motion The easiest way to determine your steerer tube size is to use a pair of calipers to directly measure the diameter or take your bike to the local bike shop and they will be able to measure it for you.Installation was very easy, if you can fit a normal stem then the only thing to think about are the elastomers, I’m 70kg so went for the blue/orange set up which was already fitted. The instructions are very clear, in fact pretty much idiot proof so long as you read them properly (RTFI) Read The Flippin Instructions. The Price Match discount and extra discounts, club savings or promo offers cannot be applied together, we can only offer one discount.
