While it may not be the best looking stem out there, a product like this is designed to be functional first and foremost - providing up to 20mm of travel at the handlebars, smoothing out rough terrain as you go.

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.

Wahoo Fitness KICKR Bike Review (2022)

Once I received the box from Redshift, I was immediately attracted to the finish of the stem, mainly the fact that it looks like a regular stem. At 264g for the 90mm +/+ 6 degree version, it is a little heavier than what I am used to, but not a deal breaker. Includes 5 swappable elastomers (2 pre-installed, 3 additional) to customize the ride feel for your bike, weight, and riding style. The Bike Computer Mount is an integrated mount that is compatible with your Garmin, Powertap/CycleOps Joule, CatEye, Mio, or Magellan computer. Includes 5 swappable elastomers (2 pre-installed, 3 additional) to customise the ride feel for your bike, weight, and riding style. 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.

Weight: While the stem is made from lightweight materials, it may still be slightly heavier than some other stem options, particularly those made from lighter materials such as carbon fiber. 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. The charts below are based on rider weight and give you a good indication of how many elastomers you should use and which colors should be selected. The higher the durometer value, the stiffer the ride. 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.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.

A preload adjusting plug in the base of the seatpost tunes the suspension. Numbers one to five are printed within its thread pitch and relate to rider weight and the spring(s). Turn the preload plug to the required position and fit the post. 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. 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.

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 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. Lightweight: The stem is made from lightweight, high-strength aluminum and titanium hardware, which helps to minimize the overall weight of the stem.
