Any issues with having to extend cables? Or is there always enough slack to rise that high?
Could just bought yourself a Gpa bike. 🤣😂🤣
Good instruction video. I’m going to try it.
There’s an owl hooting up a storm in this video that’s making me lol.
Just curious ……. how tall are you in relation to your bike? I’m 5’7. And my bike is 16 inches. Looks pretty much like your after pic. Maybe mine is slightly higher. Ty..
And your seat looks way to low 🤭
Thank you for your video. It’s helpful~ maybe you show us how to install MTB Fork Stem? ♥♥
saddle position is wrong too
Negative stem angle while trying to raise the bar height with steering tube addition. Oh well
Get a proper bike with more front suspension travel,them handle bars looks spastic 🙃
my bike guy thought it would be easier to put in a different handle bar change from mountain bike o more up right put the stem up as much as possible just dont know what handle bar ro get. looking at getting new bike.
Looooooooool rookie
Ignore all the know it alls that think they are professionals and have to mock and say things that make them look big.They just look for anything to try to boost their ego. If the bike feels good to you and your comfortable and your having fun, who cares what all these critics want to say. I see alot of suggestions just buy a new bike that fits you better, well im sure you would be happy to receive one. How about one of you fine folks reading this donate him one, if this video bothers you that much.. Thanks for the video and your time!
You have a kids bike
I wouldn’t go so hard on the extended raiser , it might fail
I used a 🧹 broom stick. Was too cheap to buy the part
How can you choose the right extension for the right bike? I bought an Ecotric Vortex E-Bike, and the handlebar is so short, it hurts my back. Amazon has them but I have no clue which one is going to fit. Any suggestions, anyone?
Yeah I’m sure everyone just has a handlebar riser just sitting in their garage! 👎👎👎👎👎
No fair I’ve been trying to use my new bike and when ever I try to sit on it me and the bike will fall
Might also help to flip your stem the right side up
4:13 the bike is not the right size for you. Your feet are peddling behind the saddle, they should be in a neutral line to the saddle.. You need a new bike dude, correctly sized for your height. 🧏
Man, stop doing adjustments, this bike is way too small for you. No wonder you have pain…
This looks so uncomfortable.
You DON’T want the stem to be flush with the steerer tube. You need to have a little gap, because the top bolt and cap are there to preload the bearings. Make sure to have a small gap (about 5mm), tighten the top cap first and the stem bolts on the side second.

use adjustable stem,,,,whort it
Certainly an option, but you’d be far better off with a bike that fits properly. This is too small for you.
You should always tighten the top bolt to provide preload for the bearings before tightening the side bolts or the forks will be loose in the frame.
A warning to anyone watching this, it’s pretty bad technical advice with at least 2 mistakes and this modification will make the bike much harder to ride.
if the plan was for a more up right position you could have tried changing the stem instead of using a negative one.
How much is your handle bar raiser length is it 124 mm or 138 mm ??
Is it just me, or is his stem not angled down? If he had of flipped his stem to positive rise, he would’ve saved the cash paid on a gimmick to raise the bars.
My eyes are burning
When leaning over the lower handlebars did you find there was more pressure on your wrists and hands. I’m having a problem with this and was looking to raise my bars a few inches.
Why are you riding a childrens size?
Better off just getting a comfort bike.
Never ever raise your handlebar. It’s not aero!
Why am I seeing these comments "does it work with roadbikes?" wth
Thanks a lot! Got my new bike today and I need This!
Thank you for the demonstration. Now I know what I need to do and have ordered a riser. Looking forward to riding in a more upright position.
Thank you Josh. You just made my life simpler pal
Can anyone help me please 😳.Before buying one do you have to measure anything or do they fit any MTB/Road bike. Before I buy one.
thankyou sooooo much
"Cruising down the sidewalk"? Please don’t be irresponsible like that. Ride in the road, where bicycles belong.
Can you buy/swap out handle bars that extended back more toward the rider?
Can we adjust the handle bar height without having to buy a separate height piece?
Next up is how to get food to your mouth by raising your hands to your mouth. That title of yours is something else.
I had to do the same thing on my Surly Midnight Special gravel bike. I wanted to use Jones H Bars and Jones says that the bars should be at the same height as the seat. I used this exact method but if there is a better way, more safe or whatever I would like to know. I like it much more because I now have 4 different hand positions. One position is the same as drop bar when your on the hoods. When I had drop bars I almost never used the low position so was almost alway on the hoods.

Does all handle height extender come in same size, mine bike is Firefox aluminium 2.0, so will it fit in properly?
shorter stem buy like a 45mm length stem is all you need.
Dutch type tall handlebars are the best, if made in machined aluminum style modern design it will look just aa cool as any modern cycle.
