During the development of the ShockStop Seatpost, we logged hundreds of miles on basically every type of suspension seatpost on the market. We figured out what we liked and what we didn't. Then we rolled our experience into the design of the ShockStop Seatpost.
Covering 10 States and 4,300 miles, the Trans Am Bike Race is a classic coast to coast race across the USA. We got the opportunity to catch up with one of the racers from this epic event, Glenn Eck. Hailing from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, just like Redshift Sports, Glenn shared some details about himself, his bike, Redshift Gear and overall race experience.
From climbing Kilimanjaro to completing Ironman twice — and now the world-record holder for furthest distance cycled in a year. Kajsa Tylen is a trailblazer, who happens to be one of our original Kickstarter backers!
We had the pleasure of catching up with Kajsa to chat about her journey towards dominating the world record at an astounding 32,326 miles.
Gravel riding, aka gravel grinding or adventure riding, is an increasingly popular form of cycling that combines elements of road- and mountain-biking, and consisting mostly of distance riding over unpaved roads. Whether dirt roads or gravel roads, trails must consist of non-technical and unsurfaced roads to qualify as gravel riding. Since cities mostly have paved roads for commuters, gravel riding trails are usually located in rural areas. This tends to afford opportunity to discover some incredibly scenic sites that one can only witness during an adventure off the beaten path.
With sunnier days approaching for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, it can be tempting to whip the bike out of storage and take off for a long awaited cruise. We want to help you get out there as soon as possible, while making sure your bike is working safely and efficiently.
One of the most common questions people ask is, "What makes the ShockStop different?" We wanted to provide some insight into some of the factors that we considered during the development of the ShockStop.
We recently discovered that a batch of Redshift Quick-Release Aerobars were assembled using an incorrect adhesive to attach the armrest velcro to the base metal armrest plate. This can cause the velcro to separate from the metal while riding, causing the armpad to fall off of the aerobars. Based on testing and customer feedback, it appears that the the problem is most likely to occur if the armrests are wet due to rain, dew, sweat, etc.
