Anyway to rise the stem / handles?

Yes, but only a couple inches. The allen head bolt on top of the neck will need to be loosened.

There are three 1/2" spacer to play with making for a total of 1.5" of play. You can also flip the stem because it's angled to raise or drop the bars. Stem standing up holds the bar 1.5" up, stem upside down holds the bars 1.5" lower. So you have a total of 3" of play with the spacers/stem orientation.

The levelers should be able to accomplish it but these are levelers and not intended for raising height. More for leveling. You could try it or just some wood underneath.M

if you want to raise the handlebars you will need a Stem Riser. take a 5mm allen wrench. and remover the bolt going into the stem on the handlebar. be careful once you take the bolt out the front forks will fall off !! you can get a stem riser from Giant here on amazon !! reasonable if it doesn't work just let me know

You can drill a hole in the bottom of each poster leg and join each leg to the riser with a threaded rod, or with a tapered wood dowel http://www.tablelegs.com/Wood-Dowels.aspx. However, a better idea for you might to buy some bun feet and screw them on:http://www.tablelegs.com/Bun-Feet.aspx and http://www.tablelegs.com/JoineryOptions/BunFootHardwareService.aspx Whatever you do, don't rely on "balancing" your legs with no joining. At the worst possible moment,a leg could tip off!

There are three different hooks to adjust the level. They are inside but the handles are up top so you can do it while its hot. Use towel. Easy to do.

Yes, it definitely gets easier. Pulling straight up seems to work best. Turning the stem clockwise a little also works for me.

Raise it all the way up, and then it will release and allow you to lower it.. Hope this helps �

Sorry, don't have any either. I agree with Roger C. - find another creative way if you can't find the clamps. Maybe roll some tape (electrical or duct) around the stem until it's thicker than the hole of the weight bands - but this also may be difficult if you reposition often.

I put on a new quill and an adjustable stem in addition to the stem riser. My bike needed a threaded to threadless quill, yours may not need this. Take a look at the Dimension 100mm Adjustable Stem (70mm - 130mm). Comes in either 25.4mm or 31.8mm. These two combined should give you all the rise you need. My rise increased 4" - 5".

You could just use some short length black plastic screws to "dummy" it up. That's what I did with my motor bike. I don't know of an actual product.

It depends upon how much of the stem is left. Check in with NAPA or a friendly tire dealer, and pick up a brass stem.

I know I'm responding to this later than the others, but don't loosen the screws! You have to lift the handle first; I know, it's really tough, I had to get my dad to help me, but that really is the solution. Once the handle is lifted, you can turn to knob to adjust the pressure.

90mm is the length. What this stem does, is raise the handle bar height to a more comfortable position. If you use or have a 90mm stem on your bike and it works in terms of length, then buy a 90mm stem to raise the bar height. It will come up about an inch.

Press firmly on the sides and pull outwards or if it doesnt pull you can bring any tool and try to pull it up gently and put it on NO 8 and rise it up and pull it up.

Hello up there. The handle height can't be adjusted. I'm 5ft 8in and the handle height seems a little too high for me but my wife is 5ft 4in and the height seems fine to her. The handle tube diameter is the same as a normal bicycle handle bar. I think you could easily add and use a bicycle handle bar to increase the height.

Ask at your local bike shop, I think there's something called a "stem extender" that might work.

The handlebar car be raised by the bolt you loosened but not by much. If you need to raise it more you could buy a different set of handlebars or you could get a longer stem.
