Redshift bike stem7/26/2023 ![]() Initially, I installed the elastomers that are recommended for my weight, and I found the stem to be a little too plush, opting to step up a weight class. The stem comes with two elastomers pre-installed, and even a remarkably hamfisted mechanic like me can chop and change them with no issues. The stem offers 20mm of travel on a drop-bar bike or 10mm on a flat bar, and it’s available in 90-120mm lengths with a +/- 6-degree drop or a 100mm +/- 30-degree. The 1 1/8in steerer clamp is attached to the forged aluminium stem which floats on two cartridge bearings and two elastomers inside which are customisable according to your weight - five come in the box allowing for 15 total combinations. ![]() The RedShift ShockStop Stem came to be as a Kickstarter back in 2015 and is what amounts to a pivoting stem. I can already hear some of the audible eye rolls coming from the drop bar purists, but hear me out. In this case, I will happily eat crow technology has come a long way since the days of Fresh Prince and Walker Texas Ranger, and Redshift’s Suspension components work as advertised and do it well. I’ll admit when the Redshift Suspension ShockStop Seatpost and Stem came across my desk for review it brought back memories of my 9 year-old self and underwhelming suspension components of the 90s. ![]() It was blue, it had a front shock, some pretty wiz-bang bar ends and a suspension seatpost. When I set eyes upon the Redshift ShockStop Seatpost and Stem it brought back memories of the first 26in mountain bike I ever owned.
