But, in the case that you have a smaller diameter handlebar, we also have shims available for 26.0 mm and 25.4 mm handlebar sizes.

The easiest way to determine your steerer tube size is to use a pair of calipers to directly measure the diameter or take your bike to the local bike shop and they will be able to measure it for you. Alternatively, most of the time a manufacturer will list this under their specifications in the Frame/Fork section. Make sure you are looking at the correct model year as these sizes can change year to year. It works in a subtle way, squashing sudden bumps and effectively smoothing incessantly rough surfaces. I found the recommended set-up ideal, but you can tune it to suit your preference. In the drops, with more weight forward, under hard pedalling efforts you can feel the bar give forwards, but it's a small movement and doesn't detract or distract from getting on with the effort. if you want that softer ride, I wouldn't waste time with a flexstem reinvented, I'd look at short travel front forks. Or just fatter tyres at a lower pressure, which, as the reviewer points out, smooth things out too This used - by 2020 standards - narrow tyres and high pressures (23 mm and 116 psi), 77 kg rider, and showed that the TransX equated to dropping the pressure to 102 psi. The Redshift was a lot better, the equivalent being 78 psi.While it may not be the best looking stem out there, a product like this is designed to be functional first and foremost - providing up to 20mm of travel at the handlebars, smoothing out rough terrain as you go. Once you determine the length of your existing stem round to the nearest 10 mm and choose the closest match. Alternate method: Use a fabric or paper measuring tape (or print one at https://printable-ruler.net/ ) and measure the circumference of the handlebar right next to your existing stem. While testing, I would go as far as to say that the stem has transformed the gravel bike and comfort offered when ridden on typical British terrain. Warming to a theme here (& it's a bit warmer than the weather), I found an academic paper (pdf) comparing a Redshift, a TranzX and a standard aluminium stem here: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.mdpi.co...

Alternate method: Use a fabric or paper measuring tape (or print one at https://printable-ruler.net/ ) and measure the circumference of the handlebar right next to your existing stem The other main option to compare against would be an increased tyre size, which can also increase comfort when set at suitable pressures. Still, while this can be advantageous, it can also have downsides, such as slower rolling resistance in some cases and frame clearance in most gravel bikes. The gel bartape comparison is not applicable - gel bar tape compresses by maybe a mm and damps higher-frequency vibration, the stem shifts 20mm to smooth out bigger hits.In general, you'll find the +30 deg stem provides a more upright, comfort-oriented fit, whereas the +/-6 deg stem puts you in a more performance-oriented riding position (standard for a typical road bike). degree in 80, 90, 100, 110, and 120mm lengths (in both standard 1 1/8" steerer and the non-standard oversized 1 1/4" steerer which matches most Canyon and some Giant bikes) Take control - customizing your suspension feel to float over obstacles so you can maintain control Stem Details:
