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.

I installed BMX handlebars to my mountain bike because I'm very tall and I was tired of leaning forward so much. I feel so much more comfortable now.

I fitted a set of BMX bars to my Giant and it was a game changer. I can ride all day with zero back issues. Also because the bar position is higher than the seat when the trail gets technical I don’t need to drop the set post. Ok so it’s less “aero” but I’m not track racing in a velodrome, I’m riding to work or having fun on single tracks off road.

You sped through the part I wanted to see the most which was installing the new extender

[jwhitty]

Ordered the same risers off of Amazon and installed on my Wife's bike as well as my own, easy peasy.Thanks for the video.

Part came in today, already fixed & it was pretty simple. My wife is going to enjoy riding allot more than she already does with her ebike which she uses to commute the short distance most of the time. Thanks for the video!

[agnesf]

Wow, right before I pull my trigger to buy Dutch upright bikes for me and my husband, Youtube algorithm send me this video to save our current Giant and Liv bikes! Thank you so much!

[yourfriend]

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!

I did it myself SUPER easy! Now my bike rides won't stress my shoulders.

So many people raise the stem and bars for more comfort. Depending on their physical status this can cause more spine compression and often worsen ones condition if they have back issues. One should also realize you lessen control by moving your weight more to the rear leaving less pressure and control to the front tire.

[JanBanJoovi-olqv]

Having done this, I think it makes sense to replace your suspension forks as well to no suspension forks as the suspension no longer have much purpose. Almost your entire body weight is now channeled to the middle part of the bike. Likewise it will also affect how the bike operates overall. There’s a science behind bike designs. There’s a reason why a comfort/city bike has a different geometry compared to a mountain bike or road bike. The same can be said if you take a limousine for offroad by simply putting offroad tyres or take a jeep wrangler and convert it to a limousine simply by lowering it and putting tyres intended for sedans. It just doesn’t feel right.

I bought a bike trainer to use my mountain bike as an exercise bike during the cold months. I've used it three times this week and quickly realized I need to get the handlebars up because my back is hurting due to the bend. I hope bringing them up will help me. Thanks for the video!!

[Hiker_who_Sews]

I've had arthritis in my neck since '89. The only comfortable-ish bikes for me are beach cruisers. I could really use a cargo bike, so this video might be my key to affordable comfort. Thank you

[donpeplow]

great video...took me about 10 minutes to make my mountain bike into a hybrid....the add 3 inches on height is a game changer

[philliplightning]

Thanks for this video it should help me out a lot. Just bought a new bike and ended up doing with a more forward sitting position because I didn't like up short the frame of upright bikes felt. Hopefully this will give me the best of both worlds.

[richardlam]

The first thing I would have done is to flip the stem over, depending on how you turn the stem it can either have a negative rise like yours or turned it over and have a positive rise to go higher, and I would prefer to use an adjustable stem to raise it or lower it depending on the type of riding I'm doing that day, an adjustable stem can be adjusted higher or lower by the turn of one bolt.

[tonyflitton]

I haven't gone down the extra spacer route yet. This evening I have lowered my seat post - I had added a padded seat and never adjusted the seat height. I also slid the seat forward to its limit. Will test ride tomorrow but it already feels more upright to reach the handle bars. To be fully upright I'd need the bars to be nearer rather than higher, but we shall see.

[ranger]

Sitting upright will put more pressure on your tailbone. Consequently your tailbone start hurting in the long run. This is my experience. Bending forward while biking puts pressure on the arms as well consequently less pressure on your tailbone.

[ClodoaldoMarques-vn]

It is easy to fix, and it is a very serious matter. Thank you very much for the video.

[offtrackexplore]

I read in a mountain bike manual warning never exceed more then 3 spacers.!
