Redshift Sports ShockStop PRO Suspension Seatpost RT Review

I’d be interested to know how this compares to the Crane Creek Thudbuster ST.

I know the Thudbuster has a bit more travel and is a bit heavier but it comes with an option of seat tube sizes (31.6 is what I would like for my do everything bike)

Has anyone had experience of them both?

@thepinkster

I have. The cane Creek I have is the full on Thudbuster of old. It is not the short travel version. I really like it. Very comfortable. I would love to try the ST version in carbon to see how it compares directly to the ShockStop as my one has a fair bit more movement so would not be a fair comparison.

Cheers for the reply Sanny, much appreciated.

@sanny, have you tried the eeSilk post and stem for comparison? These Redshift ones seem to be their closest competitor and I’m suspension curious.

I’ve got a pnw coast seatpost 27.2 gives 40 mm suspension and 100mm dropper in one fantastic bit of kit

@ped

Unfortunately not. The ee Silk looks like a very cool piece of kit. It has the weight advantage too. I think it would be a very good comparison. I may have to try and get one on test.😁

@robyoung

how do you like it? What is it like for small bumps and ripples? A combined dropped and suspension post sounds like the holy grail for gravel! Tell me more!

.

You can alter the air pressure to adjust, but it really takes the sting out of bigger hits on the gravel bike, the lever works well on the drops but you buy this separate have one of the on my mtb as well to replace my old use alien works really well not touched for maintenance in over two years, you need to get one in for testing Danny I think you’d be impressed

@robyoung

Thanks for the reply. Really appreciate that. The idea of a suspension dropper really appeals to me – it feels like a best of both worlds. Definitely going to ask if i can get one on test.

Cheers

Sanny

I’m sure you won’t be disappointed

cheers rob
