In my gravel bike, when I'm working, it makes a knocking sound at its maximum deflections. There are no rubber bumpers to muffle the metal-on-metal sounds. I need to make some rubber bumpers: one at the bottom and two at the top on the sides. Other than that, this suspension stem is great. It really suppresses unevenness very well. I bought this product based on your video, among other things :)
I see K, but no B. I mean, that seems to be only a spring, and a spring has not vibration disipation as it only works as a reaction force. Do you know if im the internals has any kind of elastomer??
I envy you! You apparently live where roads are made of glass, out my way, they're full of differential cracks, potholes, frost separation cracks. This suspension stem is a godsend!
I have this stem. Road use only. Used for 3 weeks. I'm using spring #2 that comes installed. If that springs get weak, I think I could move up to #3 and still get good suspension without too much stiffness. I'm about 175 pounds. If you are lighter, you might get some use out of #1 but it's the weakest. One of my stem bolts loosened a little at the 3 week mark, but no other issues.
surely this defeats the whole point of the product.its for non suspension bikes to absorb shocks into the hands.surely the suspension forks already do this.

These reduce the high frequency chatter, that forks cannot react to. They help with arm fatigue.
And when it snaps to its normal position, is it not soft, more like a BANG!?
Here I see problems.
(Additional to the spring quality topic)
Is it able to use it upside down? since i always use stem in minus 7 degrees

I've got one of these on a Surly Bridge Club and really like it on a bit of rocky or gravel stuff but don't see much point on the road

Can the stem be locked?
that is for rigid fork only
Have you continued using this product, the quality is good, have the springs not lost their rigidity? Greetings.

It is still going good
what spring do you like the most?
Number 3
in the end you showed nothing about how it works
Suspension stem on a bike with suspension fork ? You will not test it properly
@@michalmordarski7175 make your own video then
@@krystianzasko6934 He locked out the suspension fork. A lot of forks have that ability. That took the fork out of the equation.
Why are you using a suspension stem with a suspension fork? Too much will affect your handling. Well whatever works for you 🤔

it makes the riding experience very plush. Like a suspension seat post in a full suspension bike
Its pointless to put it with a suspension fork, you just adding 1lb to your bike.
