Am I the only one here who thinks $250 for a spring is ridiculous? They look like $50 items to me.
ОтветитьRedshift for me. I love my regular, non-pro model.
ОтветитьI have the Redshift Pro Seatpost. It definitely makes rides less bumpy when I hit potholes or sidewalks with damage. I suppose I can justify the cost because most full suspension bikes are very heavy.
ОтветитьI've just ordered the Kinekt ..because it does not require a shim for my seat tube size (30.9) , I'm 220 lbs & using a shim my seat posts slip slightly even using graphite paste . Also if you are a heavier ridder forget the Thudbuster , who ever designed their saddle clamp must of had a real off day .
ОтветитьPOOR REVIEW CALLED HUBBY IN HERE FOR NOTHING WTF WHY WOULD U SHOW UR DAMN HANDLEBARS WHILE RIDING OPPOSE TO THE SEAT .. FLAT SUCKED
ОтветитьNice review. I subbed
ОтветитьI'm leaning towards the new redshift pro which used both springs and elastomer for my road bike.
ОтветитьThese both look like they’d do a great job. A bit spendy though. Remember these both are going to add about 4 inches in height to your seat post.
ОтветитьAs much as I like the nicer suspensions, I can't justify the huge price gap between the cheap $20-$30 ones to jump to a hundred(s) of dollars. There's not really a nice compromise for me.
ОтветитьI don't quite understand the pitch variation on the Kinekt when adjusting its preload? If this happens, then, the saddle will also tilt angle up and down as it compresses and extends, something I've never heard mention, neither in your video. Adjusting the sag only moves it up or down in the same line of motion, nothing differs. Anyway, a good review, nicely done!
ОтветитьGreat information, even 3 years later.
ОтветитьI really like elastomer suspension, such as the Cane Creek Thudbuster series. It's not noticeable when pedaling, but does substantially mute bumps.
ОтветитьGreat video ! Thank You !
Ответить3rd option: cheaper and good performing Suntour NCX
ОтветитьExpensive.
ОтветитьI tried a nobrand fairly cheap (probably Chinese) telescopic seat post - rubbish!
BEING telescopic it would "BIND" - INNER tube would stick to the manifold on the outer tube - due to nonlinear forces - I tried experimenting with minimal and maximum preloaded spring and everything in between!
Still the "suspension saddle post" didn't suspend!
I Will never again waste money on a telescopic suspension seat post!
I WILL TRY LINKAGE SUSPENSION Seat posts - probably elastomer!
You ran different saddles on these seatposts to compare them! Seriously? Running the same saddles on both would have made the comparison alot more valid. Saddles provide some suspension themselves and may have skewed your perceptions.
Ответитьi like the cane creek eesilk
ОтветитьGood review, thank you.
ОтветитьERGON SM PRO + BodyFloat Kinect = very good ride 🤤😋
ОтветитьI have a Dnm mountain road which is very similar to the red shift. It's cheap one and it came with a wrap around protector with reflective material on it. I love it as I ride a hard tail MTB I've converted to an e bike. I've only adjusted it once to make it slightly firmer as I'm a tall guy and weigh slightly more than is recommended for it, but it's no problem for it. It works great👍
ОтветитьI love the RedShift seat post. I am not a hardcore rough trekking road rider. I prefer the undamped springy float feeling tuned to just barely deflect at my static sitting weight. Also a larger tire cross-section helps (I use 2.5") as you stated, if you don't mind extra rolling resistance. I have gone to Maxxis Hookworm slicks with a Tannus liner and an additional kevlar shield between the Tannus and the tire. Never get flats anymore and because they are slicks, the rolling resistance is still low at ~45 psi. I avoid mud if possible, slicks + mud = be more careful. I do not care about weight and so my bike is heavy with any tools and spares I need and it would be really heavy on any bike-packing trip, but I am big and it is not a problem.
ОтветитьKinect does NOT spell Kinetic!!!
ОтветитьWHY THE HELL DIDN'T YOU GIVE A WINNER BETWEEN THE TWO???
CHRIST O'MIGHTY I LISTENED TO FIND OUT THE WINNER AND YOU GAVE NOTHING!
Great video and thank you! I see that Randy Rides installed the Redshift on the Ariel Rider Kepler.
ОтветитьDrinking game. Every “ultimately”. 🍺
Ответитьnone of them are long enough for the Lectric 2.0 which needs a 500mm post.
ОтветитьDid the Cambium saddle also suspend you on the Redshift? It's supposed to offer the hammock effect that all Brooks give.
ОтветитьCool review. Hm, It's hard to choose between them both. We need the third choice, which would be the fusion of both suspensions. Or actually a fourth option, a fusion with a dropper. OMG, choices.
ОтветитьI'd love to see comparison between Thudbuster and Kinekt 😀
ОтветитьI'm looking at getting the Redshift for the wife. Thanks for the review and your feedback.
Ответитьnice review
ОтветитьThree and a half years ago I went ebike shopping. Being handicapped with spinal problems a good sis seatpost was Crucial!! I wanted BodyFloat but at the time their max weight was 275 I think. Bummer... I'm 300lb!
Here's where it gets cool....the owner of Citrus Cycles was talking to them...told them how this old handicapped hippy wanted to ebike...with his doggo!..across Pennsylvania!
They were so inspired they used custom parts and built me a one of a kind...meant to handle my big bones!! Lolol. These are the kinds of companies I support!!
Btw...Love it!!!!!
Does it work in a brompton bike
ОтветитьThe Redshift ShockStop looks awesome but I wish they’d make a carbon variant to save some weight and have a little extra dampening.
ОтветитьBoth of these seat posts are overpriced, but when I saw that kinect leaves off the adjuster knob just so they have an excuse to squeeze yet another $16 out of you, that was enough for me to never consider buying their stuff. I absolutely despise companies that operate that way. If you're going to charge an arm and a leg, at least offer a complete product. I'm still on the fence over whether or not I can justify the price over a cheaper design, but if I do go this route, it will be the Redshift.
ОтветитьCan you use this with a dropper post
ОтветитьHi. Nice review, for a mix terrain? In mountain and streets. Which one is more versatile? In terms of get firm or lock out the bounce?
ОтветитьPurchased RedShift two years ago. Only because it was available. I'd say it's about the best purchase I've made in two years. Adjust it right the first time and never remove it again. It's all too easy and overall just plain commonsense on a hardtail. RedShift should come standard with every hardtail. My RedShift? I love it
Ответить$25 Rinsten spring is good enough for me.
ОтветитьGood review. I've had a Thudbuster for 10+ years and a Kinekt for about four. using them on a hardtail Niner and a Haibike "e" hardtail. They are both excellent and comparable IMO and excel in absorbing small irregularities in terrain, but don't do much when ascending or descending.
ОтветитьI ride bad streets in Catalina
Ответить$250 is far too much for 2 springs and some joints
ОтветитьThanks for your review; it helped me make my choice: I got the Kinekt seatpost system, and I'm loving it! I had no idea it would make so great a difference. It is pricey, but paired with my Brooks B-17 saddle, the difference in comfort makes it worth it. It is heavy, but still worth it.
ОтветитьJESUS bless you brother.
ОтветитьThanks for good info !! I’m 6’2", well over 60, 250. E-bike now. Rickety weaker legs I LOVE e-bike as hill leveler ! I’m torn back and forth Redshift/Kinect. Perhaps do Redshift for less fuss in adjustments once out of tube. Which one is quieter for long haul? Squeaks drive me mad !!!
ОтветитьRecently added a Kinekt seatpost to my RAD e bike. What a difference. I ride gravel and paved roads. With this seatpost there is no road vibration getting through. It smooths everything so I call it the "cadillac" ride. There is some bob but I'm not finding it irritating. I highly recommend this seatpost. I have experience with a broad range of suspension seatposts and this is the best I've ridden so far.
Ответить로드바이크에도 장착하면 좋겠는데 비오는 날에 타면 흙탕물 제거하기 까다롭겠는데요.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Get a new full suspension bike , with gravel tires
👦
Ok?
Does Redshift make a carbon suspension seatpost?
