love it, nice piece of oldschool tech.
i wanna add, after one close encounter i became very careful when fiddling with anything that contains a spring. safety goggles are a must for me now.
oh yes! thats a good warning for sure - safety number 1, cheers!
I tore the web between thumb and index finger releasing a spring that still had tension on it. Healed a lot quicker than I expected.
@derekhobbs1102 ouch!!
Wouldve loved some commentary on this one 😢 need to that “mate” and “heres the beer can I’m using for a shim” 😂
hahaha glad you like my commentary 🤣🤣🤣 cheers mate
don't forget "chuckin'" stuff around. 😄
@@nawzyah 🤣🤣🤣
I remember these back in the day. Solid construction! I thought there was a damper unit in addition to the spring. I guess not.
oh yeah i think some of them had that, like a bushing or something. i looked online at other models of this stem, but yeah they dont have the bushing either. musta been girvin or something
Now it’s time to built a gravel bike for this stem.
haha true looking for a new (old) bike to do up
@@garysprojects Yeah, really looking forward to another drop bar bike episode.🤩
@jasonxiong8259 cheers mate ! Stay tuned :)
Looks like the predator shoulder gun :D
Hahah hell ya !! Def industrial looking 🔥
I was spoilt at my old job, so was able to use replated or stainless fasteners.
Wow that sounds niceeeee
still a great video even without the soothing sound of gary’s voice
hahah ayyy thank you very much my dude!!
New video style mate, I enjoyed it.
Cheers mate ! Just something for the parts that aren’t full bikes 👍👍😃
Welcome to Gary's asmr
hahah maybe some people like 🤷🏻♂️
great video
Thank you very much !
Reminds me of the homemade gun that killed Shinzo Abe.
Haha a little similar yes
Love vids like this, and am loving your content.
I'm new to actually workign on my bikes, so your vids have been a huge help in me learning how to actually do shit
if you're ever in QLD I will happily shout you dinner and a few beers.
wow thank you my dude that is quite generous! glad its helping out, thanks for watching my dude , cheers!
Nice to see you experimenting with a new editing style - I think it worked great!
Cheers mate ! Something different for the videos between the bike builds
That's the same concept as mine. You must let me know how it feels, G
will do cheers my dude
Gary, what shoes did you have on a the end? Also I heard those worked pretty well. WIll you be using it in a future build?
Vans authentic skate version. Ya I wanna put it on something but not sure what yet !
so redshift isn't the first one who make these equipment. that's interesting.
ya old idea, maybe they have made some upgrades since!
Sometimes old ideas need to be revisited because material technology or availability has improved.
@@derekhobbs1102 that’s true ! Good to improve an old idea
Nice new vid! 😊 what brand is that stem & what year it was released? btw, i used to have a suspension stem (Tranz-X brand) way back when i was young, i put it in my fullsuspension bike way back in year 1999 i think.... Hahahaha... Suspension stem on fullsuspensiin bike... 😅😅😅 I have no idea on bikes back then...😂
cheers my dude! its soft ride brand but not sure when it was released, i think probably mid 90s maybe when they were experimenting with suspension. hahahah that sounds like a fun bike!
@@garysprojects wow, nice. This was more vintage stem! 😊👍 Yup, fun bike back then... Until someone said to me that suspension stems are made for rigid mtb not for fullsuspension bikes... 🤣
@@Emz_Jhaye hahah oh really ? Good to know 🤣
How old are that stem?
Gotta be like 30 years 😮
