I live in CARACAS, VENEZUELA. I ride an average of 300km per week all around the city. I repeat routes every 15 to 20 days. You saw me riding south east of the City in this video. The fast downhill is coming from a neighborhood called LOS NARANJOS going towards a Commercial Center called Plaza Las Americas. The fastest urban downhill of the city. I can do 85kph tops. I am very satisfied with the stem since then, I am using 60-80 elastomers.
@polymathematics5837 2 жыл бұрын
After watching your videos, I feel compelled to purchase a suspension seat post and stem for my hybrid bike. I hesitate a bit and wonder if perhaps I should purchase a light duty front fork with a lockout feature, which might actually work a bit better for absorbing shocks than a suspension stem? There will be a one to two pound weight penalty with a front fork over a suspension stem, but in exchange there will be more road dampening. I have V-brakes on my bike and was viewing the RockShock Recon Silver TK with 100 mm of travel, bosses for V-brakes (and also works with disc brakes), and a lockout feature to prevent bobbing on flat terrain. This fork is air suspended and is very tunable with positive and negative air spring chambers and best of all, costs $254, weight is 2.166 kg. Mr. G. let me know your thoughts on this. BTW, if you want to have a bike pen pal so we can discuss bike topics who lives in Washington state, let me know. Have a good evening! Gus
@mr.g6089 2 жыл бұрын
It all depends on the type of roads and rides you prefer. I ride over asphalt roads most of the time. The roads in my country are not in good shape, and I like to go fast on downhills, and this is the reason why I went for the pseudo suspension that Redshift offers. I am extremely satisfied with it. After this video, I have done more rides, and the more I use the combination of the stem and the seat post the better it gets. I f you feel that a front fork with suspension is suitable, go for it. But consider the kind of rides to make the right choice.
@polymathematics5837 2 жыл бұрын
@@mr.g6089 Thanks for the reply! Based on your riding videos your road conditions are pretty bumpy...lol! The roads I ride are similar but with a bit more raised areas of asphalt due to tree roots growing under the pavement resulting in 2 or 3 cm bumps. You may want to consider a lighter duty suspension fork as well. Combined with the suspension stem, it would go far to calm your vibrating hands on those potholed roads on the way down the hill. If adding more weight to your bike is a concern, then your current setup is petfect. 😊

I am sure it is going to be something you will enjoy and it will make you feel more confident. Changing the elastomers is easy. Do shorts rides until you get it right. But give it a few days between rides to get a reel feel of it
