ShockStop suspension stem & seapost

diamount · 21 Sep 2021 at 10:02

I was considering picking these up after my gravel bike is giving off a lot of vibrations when it goes off-road, this is with 700x38mm tires. Just wondering if anyone had any experience with them.

Welp I bite the bullet and bought them - review to follow

The stem is excellent. Its not suspension, but it definitely helps with vibration and buzz from rougher trails. Had mine for over a year and it's been a great purchase, if a little bit of a faff to set up. I did consider the seat post but a carbon post is good enough for me, if it gets really rough and technical I'm out of the saddle anyway.

Looks good, i've found longer rides are giving quite a bit of elbow discomfort and it's worse after less smooth surfaces so this might help quite a bit.

How are you finding it @diamount?

Whoops - sorry for the lack of update! It's been a gamechanger to be sure - descents which rattled my entire skeleton, now have become a lot subdued - it doesn't completely eliminate them but enough not to cause discomfort. I have read reviews with people in your position (joint issues etc) and it's gives them a much more enjoyable read. FYI - order from them directly, you get 10% off a lot cheaper price and they will deliver via Amazon still anyway.
