Well done. You must have had a very talented assistant following you with the GoPro

Thanks for this review! I'm a fan of the ShockStop stem. I was happy that they introduced the shorter versions just in time to add one to my Cutthroat. I like my PNW Coast dropper too much to give it up and go with the Redshift post.

I love all the Redshift products I’ve used & have promoted that seatpost to anyone that would listen. I didn’t realize the Pro Race was 1/2 lbs lighter though, I may need to buy another.

I'm getting a lot of ads popping up on your GBC website. I don't remember this being the case in the past. Ads on the left side, right side, top and bottom. I really enjoy your channel. Thanks.

Another great video man thanks for your thoughts on this and comparing to the Lauf. Ease of entry on this make it worth a shot to find out if you like it or not.

I have the middle ground seatpost, does excellent reducing back pain by smoothing out force from bumps that would otherwise go through seatpost and saddle to the discs in my back. The stem I sent back, felt that when I was in the hoods I bobbed up and down a bit much or got no added smoothness to the ride. Haven’t needed the handlebar (want something that starts at 38cm?) but I will probably try the grips

So, will we get a review of this stem on your Lauf? Cause that's the one I'm most curious about. Softails do exist. Moots has the YBB system on some of their bikes.

The ShockStop seatpost is a gamechanger. The stem is not. Having purchased both with my own money and ridden them for a couple of years I can confidently say that. Single pivot stems are fundamentally flawed and give you no significant suspension on the tops or drops, only on the hoods. I wish 'reviewers' would compare single and dual pivot stems before giving out recommendations, as Bike Sauce did. As an aside, a pin also came out of my Pro Race seatpost but to be fair their customer service was good and they replaced it quickly.

What's with the clicking soundtrack.
Bloody annoying.
