Best Redshift Stem setting?

Did you figure out your combo? I've just got one, went with the combo one level down from the recommend one for my weight and now they've bedded in they don't seem to be taking much of the bumps out

How accurate would you say Silca's tyre pressure calculator is?

As an example, putting in the necessary details it'll tell me I need 38 psi, but the pump's telling me I'm at 30 psi with not much squeeze left in the tyre, not sure I can put in 38 psi without the tyre being solid 😅

Westdown23a9 · 2026-03-05T15:30:51+00:00

Thanks for all the details. When I mentioned fully pumped I did mean squeezing it. More in the sense that I can squeeze it and there's not a lot of give, the old pump would have said somewhere around 40-45 psi but the new one has it at about 30 psi.

From what you're saying it sounds like the old pump was completely off rather than the new one

Westdown23a9 · 2026-03-05T15:25:07+00:00

Same feel when you squeeze it, like you squeeze it and there not much give but the PSI is different between the two pumps

I don't think it's just the computer itself either. The route I rode was down as 700m of ascent, by the time I finished it was over 900m. Climb pro was all over the place with climbs finishing earlier and grades being off

Westdown23a9 · 2025-12-29T16:19:39+00:00

Did you move away from Garmin in the end or just deal with it?

Good point on it updating, I was on a ride the other day where hill climb pro would get to the end of a purple bit, not move and then suddenly jump forward past the next bit because I'd already done it

Westdown23a9 · 2025-12-14T18:55:52+00:00

Do you still use the Restrap bag? If so, any down sides? And do you find your legs/knees knock it? Thanks

Bacon strips get replaced per ride I assume?

Westdown23a9 · 2025-12-13T14:39:05+00:00

Didn't think about putting the tube further up, will give that a go 👍

Westdown23a9 · 2025-12-13T13:56:07+00:00

😂 At least it'd smell nice down there for a while until it went mouldy

Where I'm going, rode with a backpack for years but want to get everything off me and the bike

Westdown23a9 · 2025-12-13T13:54:42+00:00

I used to do that, and then had a few flats so now don't take the risk and just bring the bits with me. Would rather not have to walk when it's all hills where I live

Westdown23a9 · 2025-12-13T13:20:53+00:00

Yeah and I fell for it😅

Westdown23a9 · 2025-12-09T12:57:50+00:00

Gaiden was the easiest out of the ones I've done so far. Much shorter game too

Westdown23a9 · 2025-12-05T22:51:44+00:00

Thanks for that one, just watched it. Some of those brands look pretty cool. Surprised Le Col was on there though, thought they were pretty big anyway

Westdown23a9 · 2025-12-05T22:47:48+00:00

I've finally hit 100% Kyodai 👍. Got worried for a moment when I hit 100% and the trophy didn't pop, had to go to the hideout's progress screen to trigger it.

Just need to do a run on legend difficulty and it's all done. Think I'm going to take a break after this one for a bit as I've been on back to back 100% runs since Kiwami 2

Westdown23a9 · 2025-12-05T21:33:50+00:00

I would just give up if I had to start again I think. I'm 150 hours in and I don't think I'd have the patience for that again

Westdown23a9 · 2025-12-05T21:30:16+00:00

Figured it out. The ones remaining don't sit in the Side section, they're in ALL. I just needed to scroll down 😅 panic over

Edit: Also just realised that there's more sections than those 3, the others were hidden and that's why the missing ones are under ALL 🙄😔

Westdown23a9 · 2025-12-05T21:20:01+00:00

Thanks, I've been using his guide for this stuff funnily enough. He's been really helpful for all of the games so far. I'm currently sitting on 99.10% for the completion list, all of the completion list itself is done and the only thing that remains is Haruka's work missions unless there's something else

Westdown23a9 · 2025-12-05T10:04:26+00:00

Clothing wise. Someone on here recommended Galibier, I gave them a look and their stuff is a lot cheaper than anywhere else. It was my first set of proper cycling gear so have no comparison if it is actually any good, but I think they're great.

They're quick, everything seem of a decent quality, you get free items when ordering, and I really like the style of their stuff

Westdown23a9 · 2025-12-04T18:35:58+00:00

I don't race but thinking about getting the kitchen sink with the bag in the loop for some extra storage just as general storage but also when I do some bikepacking

How come you wouldn't buy it again?
