Field notes
RideCup uses two stainless-pivoted rings to keep a drink plumb, while a 90 mm oil-filled shock absorbs motion; foam sleeves and a rubber base limit rattling. The mounting arm has eight etched shock positions, allowing adjustment for surfaces from −15° to +37.5° while retaining the stated 2.33:1 leverage. Wroughtenart says the parts are cut from a single sheet and folded in Duncan, BC; the page offers aluminum and 316 stainless editions.
