Where is the stem riser installed? In place of the headset? I think the stem on the Zike is the part with the faceplate clamped around the handlebars.

The stem riser is installed in the spot where the handle bars connect to the bike frame. It's very simple to do. Pop the cap off the top of the center bar between the handle bars, unscrew the center screw holding it in place, loosen the clamp securing the bars in position, remove bars. Insert the riser, replace the handle bars, screw down into the riser, then tighten the clamp being sure you've lined up the bars properly. Honestly, realigning the bars was the hardest part for me cause I was working by myself.

There are two kinds of front fork/handlebar systems. (1) The old style pre-2000 or so, where you loosened up a long bolt on top, and then, could slide the bars up and down about 3 inches. It was an expanding bolt inside the front fork. (2) The newer style where there is a handlebar mount that clamps onto the outside of a fixed length front fork. These do not have that adjustment. The Montague Paratrooper I bought has this newer type, so no adjustment - to my knowledge. The only way to raise the handlebars is to get a different "clamp" that holds the handlebars to the front fork, that has some lift in it. There are even some that are adjustable. This would be a second purchase after the bicycle.

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

Hello Martin,The headset and mike are connected through a male & female plugging system. So if you fall of the bike, the wires would SNAP apart.Drive Safe Bro.

This adapter is for 1" threaded headset (insertion diameter of 7/8 Inch (22.2 mm). It is probably too skinny for your bike. Because your bike has 1-1/8" threaded headset, look for "1 1/8" threaded to 1 1/8" threadless" quill stem adapter.

I put this handlebar on an old 1980-ish Panasonic DX-2000 10-Speed road bike to replace the drop bars that came on it. The stem was also dropped, which further aggravated the "drop bar" issue. I replaced the drop stem with a riser stem that raised the handlebar about 6" from its original position. The brake levers wouldn't work, and I was able to salvage some levers from an old Schwinn. The bike is far, far more comfortable to ride now, and I'm real happy with the result.

I have the same problem, and when I use the rubber o-rings it sits a little crooked, so I purchased the Hope Universal handlebar mount and that works a lot better. Also it sits a little higher so it clears the stem on the handlebars.

As now an avid user of the the Topeak Ride Case, it does come with both the case clip mount [w/stem bolt] & with a rubberized cover to protect from wet weather or sweat. The mount is perfect for the handlebar stem mount for you type of bike. I like it so much that I purchase one for my son. I highly recommend this product only if it's purchase through Amazon, because other sources charge to much.

Ducati should have spools on read swing arm and venom rear stands are fully adjustable. The front forks are no problem. Venom stands have two prongs mounted to that good triangle piece on stands if you look close. The prongs, one sits under form and other sits on back side of fork or front side depending on how you mount stand. For wheel cleaning, triangle up, for wheel removal, triangle down

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

Thanks Pendarvii. I would have missed this if it wasn't for your post. They cylindrical parts are used in Step 9, even though the assembly guide makes no reference to it. They go inside the left & right pedal arm assemblies, where they connect to the lower left and right handlebar assemblies. As Pendarvii said, the carriage bolts will go through them.

The stem is rubber and is flexible. It makes it easier for install as well.

It comes with a mount that can either be mounted on the handlebars or on the headset. Easily installed and removed. No tools required. No obstruction while riding and easily visible.

It can be mounted on the stem. I have my Polar there, so I mounted it on the bar. Unfortunately it was too close and the case scratched my Polar lense. Another piece of advice, wrap Velcro under the clamp, otherwise it will rotate every bump you hit on the trail.

What size is the tube. Is your current forks threaded or unthreaded. I place these on a 1999 Raleigh,that was tread but the right tube size. I replace the headset and stem. Now that set up is on a 2009 Trek Fuel EX 9. Works perfect. I hope that helps.

There were two headsets in our product. We use them with full face helmets. Have traveled cross country with no issues

The upper (forward) handle bars can be left off. I only use them to hang my headset on when I'm not riding. I find the lower handles more comfortable while exercising.
