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 :)

How is it going on for yours? Initially had used the blue spring. It functions well in terms of reducing handlebars jarring. However, I was annoyed by the knocking sound, and the loss of some steering control. After a number of experiments, I came to this solution as the best for me: - cover the red spring with heat-shrink tube, overlapping the springs top and bottom, coat it with grease - insert two rubber washers directly under the top hex key mounting plate and tighten only halfway to reduce pre-tension - lower the handlebars 2 - 3 cm to put more weight onto the front This reduced the knocking by 80% under maintaining full handlebar control and relevant jarring reduction. This product is a winner for its price, but best would be some silicon dampener at the deflection end.

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)

Just bought one for my gravel bike. Do you feel it is safe on a carbon steerer. Since my bike is carbon and this is pretty hefty. Just wondering what you think Thanks for posting.

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

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!

Have you continued using this product, the quality is good, have the springs not lost their rigidity? Greetings.

The springs seem to set a little but then it stays that way.

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??

no, it doesn't. But it still reduces jarring and shatter.

I did order also base on your review. Did you find any replacement of spare springs?

There is nothing really wrong with the springs. It needs some sort of dampener for the deflection end, but for its price its the best buy.

Why are you using a suspension stem with a suspension fork? Too much will affect your handling. Well whatever works for you 🤔

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.

Its pointless to put it with a suspension fork, you just adding 1lb to your bike.
