      Comments about Delta Threadless Stem Riser:

      I had ordered the Novara Safari touring Bicycle after much research online, and at local bike shops. The bicycle was 99% of what I was looking for, perfect in all aspects but one. Handlebar height. All reviews I have seen mention this fact on every size frame of the Safari.

      Due to the thread-less stem design, there was no way to adjust this problem, so a riser was the only way to correct it.

      The Delta Thread-less Stem Riser is a perfect match for the Safari, and without any adjustment of the gear or brake cables, I was able to install this item and raise the bars to the height I require. While the bars did move back a fraction closer to the seat, it is of no difference.

      I recommend this item to anyone that purchases a Safari and needs the height of the handlebars raised without any changes to the bicycle other than loosening and re-tightening of some allen screws. From the 99% perfect bike, it is now 100% for me.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

        Comments about Delta Threadless Stem Riser:

        I commute to work almost every day on a mountain bike and I always wished my handlebars were just a tad higher to take some pressure off of my wrists, arms and back and so I could sit a little more upright in the saddle. I was looking at changing out the stem but I saw this Delta stem raiser and figured I would give it a try. It was very easy to install and it does exactly what I hoped it would. Now my commute is much more comfortable! It looks a bit odd the first few times you look at your bike, but I will sacrifice looks for comfort.

          Comments about Delta Threadless Stem Riser:

          I cycle 210 K per week mostly on paved bike paths. I have had spinal fusion at several locations so I am no all that flexible. I have to ride in a more upright position and this allows almost any modern bike to be modified so a more upright position is possible. No complaints, I have installed it on road, mountain, and city bikes. If the stem matches it will fit but you may have to make all the cables that are routed to the handlebars longer. This is a somewhat more difficult job that installing this riser.

            Comments about Delta Threadless Stem Riser:

            After riding my new touring bike for over a year averaging 100+ miles weekly, I began to develop pain between my shoulder blades with occasional numbness in my lower arms and hands. I wanted to raise my handlebars up to relieve pressure on my back/shoulders, but the threadless type stem didn't allow for any more height. I discovered the Delta riser at REIs website and then rode my bike out to Redmond, WA store, purchased and mounted it at the store. I set it up so the handlebar was level with my saddle. On my 16 mile ride back home, pain/pressure disappeared immediately. Highly recommend it.

            Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

            Comments about Delta Threadless Stem Riser:

            The riser was very easy to install. By raising the handlebar height, it takes pressure off your shoulders and wrists. On a Metro, you will need a front brake cable that is about 3" longer

                  This stem riser has allowed me to get my handlebars up to a comfortable height and made cycling fun again. Be careful when removing the original stem bolt as the front wheel will fall off once removed scattering all the spacers, etc.

                  Great product if you'd like to make your mountain or road bike more comfortable.

                    Comments about Delta Threadless Stem Riser:

                    For most of us as we get older the riding position aboard a mountain bike needs to be a bit more upright in order to avoid neuropathy in the hands, cricked necks and low back discomfort. This stem riser straightens you up just enough to make things more comfortable without rendering the bike unuseable for off-road travel. It does not require installation of new cables. You get a lot for just a little bit of money.

                    I installed these on both my wife's and my own mountain bikes just a couple of weeks ago and now we're spending more time riding. Imagine that!

                    5 stars all the way. Good idea, good design, quality product, simple to install and affordable.

                    Works for me.
