We have a bone to pick with the North American bike industry. Not everybody wants the sportiest ride possible. Here in the city (and plenty of other places), commuters don't always want to feel hunched over like they're ready to race. Some of us actually like riding upright, and with good reason. Your back, hands and wrists will all thank you - not to mentioned a clearer view of the road! Sounds practical? That's because it is.
Unfortunately with threadless stems as the norm for most modern bikes, your favourite ride may not reach that nice upright position. That is, until the Stem Height Extender came along! With a light alloy construction, you can gain an extra 117mm of extension, which makes a huge difference! Don't compromise on comfort - ride the way you want to.
