Stem riders?

What the best option to rise handlebars , a riser or a adjustable stem ? Or just get a rised handlebar? Opinions please on pros and cons,t thanx

It depends on how short your steerer has been cut and how much of an increase your looking for.

the adjustable stem will not only raise the height of your handlebars, it'll also shorten the reach so if you want to retain the same reach be sure to buy a longer stem than you currently have. You'll have to work out angles and lengths in order to figure out which length to buy.

If you ever intend to ride off road both are lethal and will almost certainly result in serious injury.
If you're riding on road or canal towpaths etc then either is fine as long as you thread lock all the bolts and check them regularly.

Safer way of doing it

Mix and match with riser bars if you must.

You can easily get 40mm or 50mm riser bars, and a 25° stem can get you another 10 - 15mm. How much higher do you want your handlebar?

A set of these should give enough rise for anyone
