$18.00 | | Purchased At: | Nashbar | | Strengths: | Good strong design and easy to install. I was able to raise the bar 3 inches with no cable mods. I was concerned that it would be weaker than the stock setup, but after installing and riding, my concerns are gone. | | Weaknesses: | Not as pretty as replacing the stem/bar but a lot cheaper and easier. | | Bike Setup: | 2006 Stumpy FSR factory stock. | | Bottom Line: |
Works as advertised. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$20.00 | | Purchased At: | nashbar.com | | Strengths: | Raises bars up to seat level for those of us with back problems, greatly increasing comfort. | | Weaknesses: | Weight. Fashion police may disapprove, but who cares? | | Similar Products Used: | riser stem, didn't get bars high enough. | | Bike Setup: | Lemond Poprad 59 cm cyclocross bike used for road and light trail use, drop bars, bar end 8-spd shifters, Shimano brake levers. | | Bottom Line: | I bought my Poprad because I wanted a versatile road bike that could handle wider tires for light trail use, like the Katy trail. It came with the standard racer set-up, seat nearly 3 inches above bars when set up for my 35" inseam. Way too high for my bad back. After trying riser stems that didn't raise them enough, I got one of these and have been happy ever since. It's an inexpensive solution, but check your cable lengths as they may need to be lengthened. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$18.00 | | Purchased At: | REI | | Strengths: | It works. Works as a small storage space for money. | | Weaknesses: | "Untraditional" Beware the stem police! Adds a bit of weight, but heck.... | | Bike Setup: | Litespeed Arenberg with Dura Ace. | | Bottom Line: | Was over zealous when cutting my fork steerer...there was no turning back. It either meant I had to get a new fork or get the Delta. I went for the cheaper solution. Easy to install with a good range of adjustability. Haven't been to a chiropractor for awhile either! An overall good solution, makes one wonder why nobody else makes it...hmmm. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
