Re: redshift Stem and seat post
Do you have a link to the one you bought? Keen to see if there is much of a price saving over the genuine ones. Tia Out of curiosity....how do you know your knock-offs are the same as the real thing? For example, the Redshift stem doesn't move upwards. I compared the eeSilk stem to a genuine one tha...

Re: redshift Stem and seat post
Ta for the recommendation, I didn't think they would make much of a difference on road but sounds like it could help in day to day stuff, like this years audax events. Their website is pretty misleading with the deal, they picture both, but you only get one at the super deal price. Still the Stem is...

redshift Stem and seat post
Who here owns either or both? Are they any good? I'm looking at them for my Camino, which I use for all terrains. It's got normal carbon forks and a 650b wheelset, so sus forks are pricey and would add quite a bit of weight. Was thinking about a Redshift and now have seen their Black Friday bundle d...

Re: Mudguards
Would these work? https://www.spacycles.co.uk/m19b0s80p1622/STRONGLIGHT-S-Type-Mudguard I'm liking these, and cheap! I find that the distance between the tyre and the underside of the fork crown is key - if you are running 650b wheels on a 700 fork, there should be plenty of room?? I've also cut a ...

Re: Mudguards
I'd just put the old mudguards and old (narrower) tyres back on. It's 100km on minor roads and I'm sure there'll be many riders will be on 28mm tyres. Hardly worth spending money on a single use item. Don't forget to fit a mud flap at the bottom of your rear mudguard - if you fashion one from an em...

Hey there, I am after advice about adult trikes. My mother is turning 80 and gave up her bike this year as she fell off and lost confidence in it. I know she has talked about getting a trike as she would feel more confident on one. I have seen a few listed used locally anything I should think about ...
