You can raise your quill 5.25 inches

On: 2008-09-10

I had a problem with numbness in my hands that was not solved with padded gloves so I wanted to raise my handlebars to take pressure off my hands. This pyramid stem riser allowed me to keep the quill stem and the handlebar that had come with my bike, but to get the handlebars 5.25 inches higher. But I had to pay a bike shop to replace the 4 cables and housing because the cables did not have enough slack for the 5 extra inches. This worked well on my hybrid and made it more comfortable so I did the same thing on my mountain bike. Both bikes are from the mid 90s and have threaded quills. If you do not know what size you need, then loosen the quill and take it up and out and on it you will see numbers such as 22.2 engraved on it. Then buy the stem riser in the matching size such as 22.2 diameter. The higher handlebar height works well for me and I like that this product allowed me to get a higher height without buying a handlebar in a different shape.

Bicycle Stem Riser review

Nice reasonable priced bicycle accessory to raise the handlebars of a mountain bike so you can sit upright. You need a moderate amount of skill to install it. Installation involves disconnecting brake and shift wires and replacing some of them with longer ones. Some bike shops will only sell complete cable and housing kits. Some will sell bulk housing and fittings that you can easily cut to fit your needs. You can also reuse rear brake cables for the front. If you are handy it is easy. If not find some one who is handy.
