Stem raiser or new stem?

Nick1978

I am finding my bars are a bit too low and need to raise them a bit maybe by an inch. What do people reocmmend...a simply stem raiser (can you get them that just raise about an inch?) or something like a new adjustable stem such as:

Can you flip the stem?

Do you have room on your steerer to accept spacers?

The things you can do are:

1. Move any spacers from above stem to below stem.

2. Flip stem over so it slopes up slightly rather than down.

3. Buy new more angled stem - or an adjustable one (most people use these to find their position and then buy a fixed one of the right shape).

4. Use a stem raiser thingy - just ugly.

The first 2 options are free and can often get you what you need.

If steerer tube spacers are posistioned for max stem height then flipping the stem might work. If the stem angle is too near flat to make a difference, Cinelli make the Vai stem with +/-17 degree rise and thomsen do there road stem with the same rise. There are also stems with variable rise.

These are very good. Good range of adjustment and pretty stiff.
