I purchased a Suspension Stem for my Himiway. It's a FOMTOR 31.8 Adjustable Stem 0~90 Degree 80mm MTB Adjustable Bike Stem for 31.8mm(1.25") Handlebar. The best part is that the adjustment is directly on top of the post! Thanks for the review Kyle, Great Information and Video....Yes, do a Video equipment video.
With my neck issues, I had to install a riser and an adjustable stem, but I can at least ride it now though it helps to stop and stretch my neck. A suspension fork is a great help too.
These adjustable stems are great for old and or injured riders but for me it comes with less control on downhills . however i got use to that fairly quickly .
if u have a long stem, you support your body with your arms, and you do exercise to your arms. If you have a short stem you have a more confortable position but your arms don't support much your body.
My Aventon Pace 500 comes stock, with an adjustable stem. Really helped me get the fit I needed. Now I am considering a suspension stem. Nice thing is, I know what size/angle to get, if I decide to go that way.
I've done over 3K miles with my RedShift suspension seat post on my ebike and the higher you raise it, the better it performs. Like a swimming pool diving board, the longer the board, the more spring it will have. With all that, I've maybe bottomed out on it twice.
GREAT video on what looks to a nice up grade to your bikes and I hope to be back on two wheels soon. By the way what headlight are you running on that bike?
Great video, very useful. I have a question related if you could help. So I opted for a riser stem with an angle that sits high and away from me which has been great. The trouble now though is that I have to constantly tighten the alan key bolt at the start, during cycling and when I finish my ride. Maybe, I need to buy a new one or I could weld, strong glue or something along those lines. Could the riser at the angle be welded and if so, what type of weld. I'd try it before get a new one but if anybody can help, it would be appreciated Not sure what material it's made from, aluminium, cast??
Hello Kyle @Bolton_Ebikes! Now the ultimate question... Does the suspension stem provide a worthwhile benefit along with the forks engaged or is it even a noticeable difference?
Hi great review... Question I have the Avention Adventure step through bike. I purchased the Shockstop Stem but the +/- 6 degree stem but I see you installed the 30 degree stem. Now not sure if I maybe should had bought the 30. I have not installed the stem yet so could return. The Adventure bars do have a rise to them though. Not sure what to do. I am 73 so if I can get the most comfort the better... Thanks Dave....
I wanna get and adjustable stem and suntour suspension seat post for my Aventure. The handlebars are just a tad to forward and cause my hands to lose feeling. If I just lean back a few inches while riding with my fingertips on the bars it's perfect but with the standard stem I can't make the proper adjustment.
I thought stems⁉️ boring. Not so! Very informative, thanks this will go into my n00b channel. Video gear? Might be interesting so go for it. See ya next week or sooner.
A little pricy he says, $160.00 is more than little pricy when most stems cost under $50. Maybe you could give one of those away of Friday Live Chats, thats about the only way I could afford one, LOL
Watched the livestream last week and still waiting on the approval to view the new website from the email invitation you sent. Have those been processed yet? checked spam folder and nothing.
I had the same problem with my Aventon Aventure and separated the brake cable from the harness and also removed the cable clamp on the front fork which gave me enough line to turn to the far right. Use a tie wrap to keep the line away from the tire, i put the basket on with cables in the middle and it works fine.
And Again - Being I'm on the quest for front forks that actually work to get a full plush deflection - The view going over the curb - the Front Forks have basically zero suspension. They should have absorbed entire curb without any deflected bounce up as it did. I see now where there's a video review that actually states in the title - Do you actually need suspension. Now I see what he means,, why even spend more for forks, when you might as well spend more for a fat tire set up to begin with, where 60% of the ride softness comes from. We'll keep looking - or until forced to make my own forks - since 1980's for drag bikes and ProMotocross. Cheers
Who would like to see a quick tutorial on how I film my ebike videos? Cameras, mics, etc?
Count me in.
Sure would like to know. I’m looking to up grade from my GoPro 7. I’m just know getting into tracking with a drone which is a blast.
Absolutely. I'm sure you would love to have a link to send people who ask which I would imagine is a LOT. Thanks in advance.
No thanks, your videos suck 100% of the time regardless of your equipment
@@UncleFjester if my videos are that bad why do you use the tag #BoltonEbikes on your videos to try and attract views? 🤔

Suspension stem and seat post would be a great option for a rigid fork and frame bike, liking these options.
been considering switching my stem and this adds more fuel to the fire

My personal opinion is, they shouldn't even sell the bike without a n adjustable stem. EVERYBODY is built a little different. That is a no brainer.
Amen to that.

Wild concept - - watching to see how this will work.
Under-rated video mate. Thank you.
Thanks Kyle. nice to see and know.
i have a boardman hybrid non suspention and recently put a mid-drive on it and have been looking at the redshift handlebar stem and seat post for it
I've been using a red shift for 2 years. It's a game changer

the flex stem seems great, but really pricey for whats involved.
Would luv to see your video gear set-up sometime.
Hi Kyle good video what is the model number of the seat post suspension your using on the Warthog?

Do you think that stem will work well on a Lectric XP 2.0? thanks.

interesting, link to suspension stem plz & thxs
would that work on a lectric bike with no front suspension ?
No
Will the Redshift Shockstop suspension stem work on a RadRunner 1. ??

If you have any ebikes that you test and that you don't normally sell online I would love to have one
What suspension post are you using?
What is a good adjustable stem for the HD1000?
Wow awesome it’s aFox bran suspension??
do you have a video about changing chain rings on the foxbat?
It pretty easy, make sure you have crank arm puller like Park Tool CCP-22.
I had to take off the front basket as the front brake cable is too short and would catch on the basket whenever you turn too far right.

Can you add a topeak rear m2 rack on it?
Do you sell the suspension one
My lower back kills me after riding on stems that stretch the reach down and low.
What is the top speed? 🚴
Would like that tutorial.
that warthog is a sexy beast!

Those stems are more expensive than just buying a suspension fork.
I've checked on amazon, €220 for a suspension stem. I'll pass.
I like this bike, love the rack
Too far away to see on phone
