Stem Riser 180mm

Received as described, and works exactly as intended. Looks nice. Good value. My handlebars are elevated substantially and my bike is much more comfortable to ride (important for me as a boring old-ish guy trying to keep up with my 9-year-old son). Installation feels very solid - no wobble or misalignment. Only thing to consider when buying something like this: there has to be enough slack in your brake and gearshift cables to get the assembly into position. In my case, I was only able to raise my handlebars 6" (not the full 7 possible with this extender) because of the available slack in my cables. I probably could have gotten the full 7" if I had disconnected the brakes and shifters during installation.

I'm impressed by the quality of this Wake stem riser. I got it installed on a 20" mountain bike which is currently serving as a practice bike for my ~5' 2" mother who's still trying to get her groove back after a long 30-year hiatus from bike riding. As it was out of the assembly, the 20" bike's handlebar was positioned too low for her for comfortable riding and safe handling. After raising the height by 5 inches, my mom's balance, comfort, and handling have greatly improved. The aluminum build looks and feels both solid and durable. After tightening down the stem bolt and setting everything up correctly, there is no looseness or creaky sounds. The only thing preventing me from raising the height about an inch more is the brake cable. If I fit in a longer brake cable, then extending the stem to full height will be doable. It's a 5-star win! 👍

This isn't the highest quality stem riser, but you can pay up for really nice ones. For my purposes, this seems fine. I was a bit apprehensive about installing it, as I'd never done so before, but found it straightforward. I was concerned that it might be too tall, and wondered if I could extend the stem less than the full 7" height of this by removing spacers. The reason I was concerned is that the stem bolt is the full length, and didn't know if it would work with a shortened stem rise of less than 7". I was told it would, however, I installed it with all the spacers and it worked fine. I did however have to remove one space that was stock on my ebike in order to ensure that the bottom clamp to the stem riser didn't extent higher than the fork stem on my bike. Even then, the top of the lower clamp on this stem riser was just slightly higher than the fork stem on my bike, but felt comfortable that the clamping force would be fully on the fork stem of the bike. I torqued down all four bolts very tight, and no issues. The primary reason I got this is to try to alleviate the numbness in my hands and wrists that I'm plagued with if I ride for about 20 minutes. Unfortunately, it didn't eliminate it, but it did reduce it and it takes longer to happen. I've taken to riding one handed when possible and letting on arm at a time hand down at my side until the numbness goes away. This might help others however, as I think I just have an issue with my wrists.

Works great for ozark mountain bikes. We bought one for another bike, it sticks up a little more but does the job

***UPDATE... Been commuting to work for about two months now and I couldn't imagine not having this product. It still holds up strong.*** First of all I'm 5'11" and weigh 350lbs. I decided to start commuting to work by bike which is 2 miles away along with some other lifestyle changes to lose weight. A good friend gave me a Raleigh Talus 2 with 27.5" wheels. Great bike, but it's frame is built for a maximum rider height of 5'9" and the first time I rode it within minutes my hands wrist and back were all aching terribly. After looking at many risers I decided to give this one a try and I love it. I just got it today, installed it in about 5 minutes and just rode 3 miles with my back and hands feeling absolutely fine. It's very sturdy, fit perfectly and looks awesome. Worth every penny.

Update - 8/25/19 - the spouse and I took the bikes out today with extenders installed. Did about 14-16 miles and the difference was distinctly noticeable: no wrist, hand, shoulder, back pain at all. I’m gonna try some more rides but I might even buy an adjustable stem, one where you can change the angle of the stem; maybe move it a smidge closer to me; plus, maybe just maybe buy some upright grips. You need to experiment with these things and the cost is relatively minimal but the benefits are well worth it. I mean do you wanna come back from a long ride achy or would you rather spend $20-$30-$40 and make your ride comfortable? Product arrived lickety split (2 days) from vendor. Although there were no installation instructions, I had looked for some videos on YouTube beforehand. Installation was idiot proof. Took about 10-15 minutes. I bought two of these for two e bikes that I had recently purchased for the spouse and myself. The handle bars on the bikes were too low and were causing us both to lean too far forward which resulted in wrist, hand, shoulder & back pain. I raised the bars up (not completely but pretty close) and now the ride is much more comfortable with no pressure on the hands, wrists, etc. If you have a mountain style bike, you might wanna consider one of these things.

It raised my handlebars and I am happy with that. Fortunately I had spacers from my previous one, cause I needed extra ones. It torqued down just fine. I didn't try to over tighten it. It does come with a stupid decal of a spider, a spiders web, a pumpkin, the work "WAKE" and some white cloud thingy, except for the name "WAKE", the rest didn't make any sense to me. Someone here, either in the comments or question area, noted the same thing and wanted to remove the decal and asked how. Well, I took finger nail polish to it with cotton pads. I got the top layer off, but you can still see white over the black back ground. Sometime this week I am going to go back over it with fingernail polish and a tooth brush. I think that I can get it all off. Other than that I am happy with my purchase. Oh one other thing, A month earlier I did buy another extender, which was about 2.75 inches shorter than this one and all was good. But when I bought this one, I then had to replace all my cables (brake and shifter cables), because my old ones became too short and I couldn't even get my brake/shift levers back onto my handlebars. I bought new Jagwire cables (which are extra long). So I had to buy new housing and new cable, for both the brakes and shifter (each cost me about $30 or $35, I don't remember exactly how much). And I watched Youtube: Clint Gibbs - "how to adjust a front derailleur" and "how to adjust a rear derailleur", to figure out how to install. I also bought Velo Orange Klunker Commuter Urban Bicycle Handlebar and Champ Oversized Comfort Bike Seat, all of which i would also recommend. I can now sit up straight and enjoy a 25 mile ride.

Used on specialized bike. It fits perfectly and raised handle bar to the perfect height! Best buy ever. Great quality easy to install
