Redshift Sports ShockStop Suspension Stem which is a tad pricey.
Like, half the price of my bike!
So, here I am asking if anyone here has experience o' this stuff! I just
hate parting with money unnecessarily but it sounds like I might well appreciate this ride. Potholes abound the streets where I like to go. . . . . .Advice, guys please!
They have been around for quite a while so you should get some responses. Haven't had experience with them myself - I have a Specialized with futueshock and it works well, Other solutions are carbon bars an wider or more plush (higher tpi) tires. You don't need anything as drastic as fat-tire, but tires make a big difference.
What kind of bike do you have? What tires and wheels and tire clearance.
