FINNALY! Someone actually showed if the cap sits on the handlebar clamp or if that clamp is supposed to be lower and the long bolt and cap tightens to the tube. Thank you!
just installed today. its a bit taller then the original so i removed a thin ring from the original setup. im very pleased with the results, its better then an adjustable.
How has the raised handle bars been working for you? I am thinking of getting these fir my MTB. I have tried similar extenders in the past but always had headset play.
@@thebossman60 i used it for 1km or so, after i installed it, the weather is cold. it works fine but i cant vouch for it, i didnt use it on crappy roads to vibrate alot. but no headset play. i screw everything with simple tools, no dinamometric tools.
@@thebossman60 the top screw keep losening itself and it dont seem to be tightening properly. probably the thread is...screwed! 😂 I ride only at low speed, 15km/h so im good with it for now. probably at some point ill try to made another screw from a better steel or ill move to an adjustable stem.
How does the long bolt reach the existing star nut? Or does it come with a nut. Given that the bolt is the same length as the extender, I can't figure how it is fitted. I'll get one if you explain this. cheers.
The inner diameter of this extender is larger than the fork steerer thus the extender will sit on the top of the fork steerer completely and the long bolt will reach the existing star nut easily without any issues. Hopefully this will help. Cheers
What is the max amount this can raise my handlebars in milimeters? I want mine raised by at least 50mm. The spacers in the video add up to like 30 mm. But the final result looks more than that. What is the actual maximum?
the steerer tube of the bicycle fork must be 1 1/8. i think is standard. it does not matter the handlebar dimensions, you will use the same stem. no need to disconnect the handlebar from the old stem. this will increase the heigh of the stearer tube. so the lower side of this device is 1 1/8 inside diameter and the upper side, with spacers and where the stem go is 1 1/8 outside.
Of course it can be cut but that may change the temper of the metal which can be dangerous if it results in a weakened product. If you want to do this solely for appearance I'd suggest forgoing that idea and simply place the spacers so that your stem is at the desired height. Better to be safe than sorry, eh?
the stem could stay on top on all those spacers rings, that is the highest position. but you can put for example only 2 rings, then the stem then on top the rest of spacers. all spacers are needed because the screw is one dimension, ofc. you can adjust the heigh puting more or less spacers under and above the stem. the product is good, i just installed it today on my Cannondale Trail 4. its better then an adjustable stem riser because it wont push it forward, only up.
