I just added a Redshift Shockstop suspension stem to my gravel bike, I put a couple RUclips videos of it working and it's fantastic. I truthfully wish I bought it 2 years ago.
Here in the United States non-cycling motorists hate people who legally ride their bicycles on the streets. Putting a camera on your bicycle won't stop the hatred or the killing. The car obsessed culture is against us.
People driving automobiles don't pay attention to turn signals on bicycles because the signals are too small. If they see anything at all, it's just lights flashing.
Lol unless someone's riding on a heavy gravel road (think mashed up bricks - and yes, I've ridden roads like that) with a fully rigid bike, there's no way their arms are gonna hurt from bumps. And if you ride such roads regularly, getting a suspension fork should be the obvious solution.
YamiKisara Why? For $140 the Shockstop is lower maintenance, and good enough for your average commuter looking to dampen road vibration. It is also easier to install than a fork.
outcast566 for $140, you can get an entire used bike with suspension on both wheels. This thing is just a pointless, overpriced gimmick to make hipsters and yuppies feel like they are cool.
Suspension forks eat up energy and reduce efficiency making pedaling harder, while dampening stems do not. The biggest benefit of dampening stems is actually the reduction in road "buzz" from the aggregate in asphalt which has an insidious effect on your arms.
@@brimstone33 you can get a reasonable rockshox front suspension fork for 140$. front suspension forks don't deliver your energy from pedalling into the ground. A back suspension however, does do that. I cannot imagine this shockstop being useful unless you MTB on a full rigid.
@@exactpeak5995 This is for road bikes, not offroad bikes. Look at the bikes they're mounted on in the video. Front shocks do reduce efficiency not from pedaling energy transfer but from increased rolling resistance, that's why you'll never see them on a road racing bike. This "Shockstop" thing looks a lot like the Alsop stem I had twenty years ago on my bike, it's nothing new. Bike gloves are padded for a reason, this does the same thing only a lot better, keeps your arms from getting as tired from absorbing shocks as they support part of your body weight.
1.) Ride Air - unnecessary oversized phallic pump (did they know we already have a thing called a cO2 inflator?) 2.) Haiku - It does the exact same things that a bike specific GPS, bike computer, or smart phone does already! 3.) Shock Stop - Not to be mistaken for Shock Top .. I'll have to look into this, if it is up to quality and has stem length and angle options, could actually be interesting. 4.) Parkis - This is actually useful. 5.) Blazer Lazer Light - I approve of this, though I prefer the one that uses two lasers to project a bike lane in front of you. 6.) Urbanext - "Only adds 15lbs of weight to your bike" LOL!!! ONLY!? My road bike WEIGHS about 15lbs! No.. just.. no. 7.) Hexagon - While I'd like to see some improvements for the more serious road cyclist, this is actually really cool, and the whole reason I clicked on this video. The improvements I'd like for Hexagon, ditch the phone app and with it the rearview monitor. Give me a small bluetooth/ ANT+ remote for the blinkers, keep the camera too of course. Color options/ just make it black.. not everyone wants blue on their bike. This could make a great competitor for the Fly series bike light/camera combo.
Jeramie James the hole reason of haiku is so you don't have to look at your phone so you can always have your hands on the wheel and not have to stop pull out your phone then do your password just to see where to go next so it is actually really good (font care that I did not punctuate my sentence
7) For road biking and training best option is just mirror like cateye bm-45. Hexagon might be good tho for for city riding and commuting.. if someone use phone on handlebar.
1.) Ride Air - Get a small pump and decent tires and you will rarely get flats and never run out of air or CO2.. 2.) Haiku - Spend the $$ on a ruggedized waterproof phone or case. Learn when you can and a cannot take your eyes off the road. Cheaper and just one thing to keep charged. 3.) Shock Stop - Had something very similar in my junk box for 20 years. No kidding. 4.) Parkis - What a massive waste of money and space. Just learn to roll your bike up the wall to a hook, and/or get a folder if you really need to save space. 5.) Blazer Lazer Light - I have doubts about how a visible a light on the pavement is to a person in a car. Spend the $$ on good rechargeable head and tail lights. 6.) Urbanext - One more in the growing lineup of front wheel electric motors. Maybe useful. Not as useful as building up your biking muscles - which generally REDUCES weight. 7.) Hexagon - $10 helmet mounted bike mirror. No batteries, super light, instantly visible without moving your head, much better field of view, not likely to be stolen, bend it back into working condition after a crash.
That Blaze Lazer thing must be pleasant shining in your eyes when a bike is pulled up to your bumper & before you say "it'll be shining at the back of your head" don't forget the rearview mirror. There are some great gadgets here & this is a good channel, I wish all cyclist's could be as courteous as I thought I was when I was riding, ;-)
most of those gadgets are just gismo that will cost you a buck without much practicality. for example - a pump. I would prefer a manual mini pump. No need to charge it. Just put in a bag and use it even after a year. Camera - what is wrong with gopro or anything like this? At least gopro can be used for other cases Hub motor wheel - with a 126WH battery this wheel with eke out max 20 miles or 15 miles realistically of range. what is the price of this thing? I bet like north of 500$. Get a whole ebike
I'm not sure about attaching an air tank the size of a water bottle on to a bike is going to go over well with people. You can do the same with with a more compact C02 setup. I can fit it with 3-4 CO2 cartridges in a bag under my seat and it doesn't take much to setup and inflate.
Hexagon If you use it in india then if it is water proof it will work but nearly half of the camera will be covered with sand or dirty water which will stand in big holes if it is not water proof then it will spoil in only 3 days or last for some time more. Only money waste .
Just checked on the Hexagon link....they still have not sent even one out !!! And they were 204% funded !!! Not to mention that they had a delivery date of Sept 2017 !!! (Almost a year ago !) Plus, they are trying to sell people on an additional adjustable mount...WHEN THEY HAVEN'T EVEN SENT OUT THE ORIGINAL PRODUCT !!!!
#2 told a few lies; most e-bikes are not ugly. And I don't think they interfere with the mechanics of chain. I added an e-kit to my bike and there is no problem(s) at all.
In India Noone would buy any of this accessories because in india people have cycles worth around 2 to 3 thousand rupees and gadget worth more than 5 thousand rupees Apart my cycle worth 14 thousand rupees Herculus Roadeo A110
my bikes heavy af but i was thinking it was a bit much to ad to those with lighter bikes... hell, if you're willing to add weight to your bike you may aswell go for a chain lock. Less weight and more practicality not to mention cheaper.

you know what will keep me from getting hit by cars while riding my bike? blinding the people that could hit me with a laser because if they cant see, they cant hit me right???
I would also want a front facing light/camera combo as there are times the problems on the road are in front of you or just off to the side (cars entering the traffic flow and almost hitting you, pedestrians coming out from between parked vehicles). A wide angle front mount camera could also be useful in legal actions.
Here is one Taillight which i find very interesting and it also beautifies your bike during the night as well as safety for night cycling. I bought 2 of this for my bikes. Really awesome! Check it out from this link: www.amazon.com/dp/B08Z2ZG18V
Actually that ShockStop steering stem looks like it could work. My Tarmac has extremely stiff forks and it beats me up on the badly maintained Bay Area back roads. I do not see how this product would reduce the bike’s performance, other than add a few grams to its weight. The ShockStop gets positive reviews on Amazon from knowledgeable riders. [I am not associated with this product in any way.]
