New Prototype Groupset & The Weirdest Cycling Components Ever - Mailbox Monday

[@TraceVelo]

YOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Thanks for the shoutout lads! So yeah those Sensah shifters are big and ugly, but like Jimmi said, they are actually pretty comfortable. And because of the size, they do have a sort of robust/reassuring feel on the bike. When I first got them out of the box, I was worried about the lever throw too, but on the bike it's not too bad. Def not for small hands, but if you can get to grips with it, well worth it. I was INCREDIBLY impressed, especially for the price. 2 pieces of advice, the cable loop out the back of the bike needs to be pretty large to get accurate shifting, and when bleeding, you will need 2 syringes. The standard shimano bleed funnel doesn't fit. Anyway, good luck gents! - *_Detective Trace_* 😎

Great advice Luke! I remember this from your video 🕵️‍♂️

Loved riding my Redshift Sports Kitchen-sink cockpit - complete with front loop, top and bottom grips. Made it so comfy with multiple hand positions when I rode Brussels - Sweden - Brussels last year. I'm now really interested in the clip on aero bars... RedShift certainly are great "out of the box" thinkers!

[@charlesblithfield6182]

I think Jimmy is a mixed blessing for businesses that send in products for review. He just says his honest first impressions with no filter and then gives a frank analysis. How much are consumer purchase choices influenced by impressions as opposed to critical thinking (like you’d get by an outfit like Consumer Reports)? I can imagine the marketing people wincing as he handles their product and tells it like it is from his perspective. His analysis is insightful and useful.

Might be helpful info: the ShockStop Stem and ShockStop seat post from RedShift are very helpful for folks with small tire clearance or chronic nerve pain (like me) from multiple sclerosis. The small amount of relief is super appreciated for those without larger tires (run at low pressure) to help with rough roads. Their pedals are an insane idea... great company and Erik is the nicest supportive guy.

[@theDevPanda]

I don't think I've ever laughed out loud so much from one unboxing video. Also I do think I'm going to need something from redshift.. maybe most of the things.

[@kramrenrut950]

The pockets also ideal for the dog biscuits on a walk

[@Jimmidoesstuff]

Ooohhhhh. Clever.

[@JibbaJabber]

15:04 Jimmi, that's exactly how I used to feed my kids. Don't want to crow on about it, but they're now flying high since they've flown the nest 🕊️ 😊

[@Gaskellorama]

i saw those pedals advertised a while ago, Jimmy is spot on, they're a great idea for anyone commuting, but for that price i'll stick with what i've got.

[@squngy0]

I wonder how much practical difference there is compared to just having regular cateyes/reflectors on the paddles plus a blinking rear light somewhere else on the bike.

[@davidgarza2267]

Same. One light on the seatpost, one on seatstay, and one on back of helmet. If drivers can't see that, I don't think the pedals will make much of a difference.

[@squngy0]

@@davidgarza2267 I dont have as many lights as you, just one high quality one. However, I do have a bunch of reflectors, because I bought a roll of reflector sticky tape and just pasted it in lots of places, including my helmet (btw, why dont all helmets have reflectors by default?)

[@nluisa]

The other plus of reflectors is they don't need charging. It sounds as if those pedals have 4 lights that need topping up and non of them will light up the road ahead

[@kokonanana1]

@@davidgarza2267Moving lights are better attention getters than stationary lights!!!

[@triathlonfat2fit]

I want all them red products, they are totally mad but just enough to make me want them. I love the last bars with the bag/drop riding extension.

[@drijackson]

Brilliant video and well done. I worked in Newcastle for 4 years and the three of you make me smile and laugh and bring back great memories. I didn't cycle then but I do now and I wait impatiently for all your videos. Keep up the good work.

[@84imreplica]

This has to be one of your best (funniest) videos, and that's saying something, because you've had some humorous ones. Well done, boys!

[@richardfarrant7296]

I got the largest REDSHIFT kitchen sink handle bars (53cm) for my commuter, so comfy and not as wide as the size suggests.

[@MTBScotland]

Like the idea of that liner. would save my phone getting wet from sweat.

[@markjthomson]

Those food things would also be good in the food pouch on the handlebars, I don't like food loose in the food bag so use zip lock bags... can be tricky to get into while riding. The large one would work nicely.

[@Jimmidoesstuff]

True.

[@owenfidler2115]

Assuming you're talking about feed bags that fit water bottles and attach to bar and stem? If so, get an old water bottle an cut it down to the height you want, keeps everything clean. Cut a slot a cm or two lower than the lip to make it easy to pull out of the pouch.

I do love the top grips and especially the kitchen sink handlebar. I have the widest one on my dropbar mountainbike and it's like having a mountain bike handlebar with all the control on technical sections, but I still ride in with my hands on the drops :)

[@HarryFunmaker]

That 2-position seatpost looks pretty cool. I'll be interested to see your video on it. I run aero bars on my road bike and my fit is a bit of a compromise between the two positions.

[@donnyo65]

I've been thinking about a set of those strange bars with the loop combined with a suspension stem for a while. Jimmy's - ' This is stupid - but hang on!' speech has convinced me. Great video - more of the same please.

[@bobpearce4014]

I love the Redshift products! The bar, bar bag combo and the suspension stem are amazing on my Argon 18 gravel bike!

[@eolle43]

Great video! If microspline driver is hard to find for the super nice gravel project there maybe a XD mounting cassette. I use a cassette from e13 (but there are other companies) on my 27.5/650b gravel wheels with XD driver and a Shimano 11 sp drive train. On a side note maybe add a monthly episode of "Jimmy unbound" where he rants for 5 mins about life the universe and everything bikes. :) If he goes over 5 min just cut him off mid-sentence!

[@Jimmidoesstuff]

Looool

[@PinkBunnySlipers]

So glad you will be doing a review of the red shift arrow bars and seat post but looking at it for a while for my gravel bike as I use it for a triathlon as well

[@vermaakf]

Hi guys. I have been using redshift products on my Gravel bikes for tears. They are permanent... I am originally a mount biker, so I take my gravler on trails as well. Consider that in South Africa we have wonderful trails and massive Gravel roads. I use the widest kitchen sink bars with all the trimmings and suspension seat post and stem. My friend is using an ultra light ninner hard tail as a long distance Gravel bike, because of the redshift suspension seat post. I see that they are now being used by many Gravel and adventure cyclists. I have been following your journeys for so many years. Keep it going. Don't forget to take on Cape Pioneer trek and Cape Epic... 😊

[@vermaakf]

Sorry for the bad spelling. I commented with my phone and autocorrect... 😊

[@stefaanverschelde5852]

The end was BRILLIANT xD LMFAO

[@essex__rider]

4:04 Snack Bike Happy... Surely the blue pocket is for cargo bibshorts?

[@corbycobb2449]

I have the kitchen sink handlebar with the loop and the width is great, I put the top flat grip things and it makes it very comfortable especially when you riding with your forearms on the tops. I just bought the handlebar bag but haven't had a chance to test it out. Please test the two position seat on the bike with the handlebar with the loop.

[@jeffreythree]

I can't wait to see what you think of the Redshift 2 position seatpost. I have their handlebar with the loop and bag on a bike, and it makes a great snack holder with the little magnet that holds it shut when unzipped.

[@Ryanv7x]

Best mailbox Monday on Wednesday ever!

[@Buzzwindrip]

The Redshift segment was an inspiration. Mostly intrigued by the suspension stem that was mentioned. Be nice to tame the shit roads here in SE Wisconsin USA.

[@JulianKent]

This is why I run DT Swiss wheels. All the freehubs are swappable to XD, XDR, microspline.

[@peterthomas8053]

So glad I subscribed to this channel quite a while ago, just love all the content and banter.

[@grahambell9831]

Lovin' mailbox Wednesday ! 📬

[@hackgolfer7352]

Redshift stems are great, have one on my gravel bike and if budget allowed, would love to buy their seat post too.

[@Windsail]

If you like fancy lights that move, I used to have a monkey light on my commuter. Goes on the wheel and creates patterns on the wheel as it goes around. Only draw back is that the bike wobble when doing maintenance and sinning the wheel.

[@ncc1107]

@12:30. Definitely get the arclight pedals, Jimmi! I have the regular version on my e-bike, and cannot recommend them enough. The pro versions probably have better grip due to the more durable connector pins.

[@kacem3167]

Wednesday is now Monday

[@examinethose]

moooooom, redshift guys are at it again

[@alexandergilmour8451]

The Redshift cruise control add ons for the bar tops are really good

[@willridesabike6312]

I've wanted to try the Kitchen Sink bar with the hoop for gravel racing, but that bike doubles as my CX bike and not to sure about rocking those in a CX race.

[@steverhysjenks]

Arclights - love to see a review. They are expensive so would love to see what you think of them

[@roamingwolfpack]

Redshift has some innovative products that's for sure. Can't wait for the vids

[@ivorte]

I loved my redshift dual seat post and aero bars when I was doing triathlons pre covid! I bought a new bike and did not transfer them over, maybe I will now.

[@jay_stne]

Please include all of the measurements for the red shift bars when you do the video! I run 38cm bars with a 13 degree flare and love the look of the kitchen sink bars but always thought they were too wide for me , would be nice to know if they size up small!

[@chrikim67]

I really like the dynamics between you two guys 😀 Great video. I have on big ask: I would love studio tour 🙂

[@roadsquadra]

Use an XD/XDR freehub and cassette instead! I run them on my bike paired with 10-42 cassette and GRX crankset & RD with R9100 shifters and they're perfect!

[@BartAndrzejewski]

The idea behind EAT MORE RIDE could be that the person behind you will only see the "EAT MORE" part during the bag being 'idle', but during grabbing a snack, the "RIDE" could appear due to slippage, so... Dunno :D

[@wheyaye07]

Those red shift lights look amazing

[@charliewhiskey8440]

I've had the dual-position sitpost almost since it first came out years ago... but I never quite got it to work. For my physiology the difference between the two positions seem just too big. Their stem, you thought you had a flat the first 30 seconds you put your weight on it, but then you forget it being there, which is great. The Sensah stuff - if it's matt black it probably look a lot better. I'm eagerly awaiting your review gents.

[@RazzFazz-Race]

Please take a closer look at the right Shifter of the sensah empire groupset. i own a sensah srx pro 12 speed and it shifts on a a smaller cog when i rode over rough terrain. I think the shifter is the problem. the mechanism is to weak an releases one gear…

[@gordophoto]

I love my kitchen sink bars. A great product.

[@Smoovebert]

francis and jimmi are really hitting their stride. chapeau chaps

[@JakeMay]

Do the silicone jersey pocket lines have holes in? Otherwise my Linda McCartney sausage rolls are not going to be a nice consistency if it rains on my ride 😅

[@Kingjay814]

For what it’s worth RedShift does make a slightly cheaper version of those pedals. The ones they sent you look different from the ones I have. Like they’re a little bigger. I think I paid like $120-$130 USD for mine on Amazon.

[@edjesuitas1]

Bike parts review and why am i laughing out loud? Cant wait for your reciews on Red shift. I know you'll like the handlebar tops extensions as they are so comfy!! Not that im riding Paris Roubaix soon but this will definitely help!

[@KNURKonesur]

How do the RedShift things fare with very heavy riders? I mean like 125kg riders...

[@Thomas-fy9yc]

Surprised you had a hard time finding a microspine free hub, I’ve got a couple that came with DT Swiss hubs on wheels I bought , which i tossed in a bin as I’m all in on XDR. Easy peasy swap.

[@robertmartyniak4299]

You need to test those pedals in the dark and do a video about them pretty please!!!

[@skyrunr]

I hate how much I love RedShift and Paul's (mech disk brakes) products! I can't wait for prices to come down, or to buy them used from people who didn't like them. I'd be a great tester if they wanted to send me some to review as well. ;) I'm an aggressive older rider leaning towards the Paths Less Traveled direction.

[@philipp-christopherdeeke2210]

Can you please get all the fancy Redshift stuff to James?! Would be really interesting to hear his opinion about it.
