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.

Hi, I think you are asking for assistance regarding inserting the stem into the head tube. If so, I too notice a little difficulty in doing so. Grease is the word. Place a good film of grease on the stem, be sure you have the binder bolt kinda loose as to not bind upon insertion. Gently insert your well greased stem into the head tube using SLIGHT right to left rotation motion. NOT TOO MUCH, you will mare the stem's finish. Then tighten the allen bolt, you should have success. When in doubt, look things up on you tube...someone will have undoubtedly posted a video on the subject. Hope that helped.

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.

Agree with Jeff, The derrailleur / shifter cable was included but no brake cable or housings. New product packaging may have changed since then as it 's been awhile. I 'd plan on having the brake pieces available if your doing the installation yourself. If not, Your local bike shop will sort it out for you. Hope that helps. Mike

Its a standard stem based off NJS framesets, basically look up how to put on a fork or stem on youtube have confidence in the first ride

The stem is the distance between the two mounts. If you have the current bike fit perfectly for you the raised position will give a more comfortable ride. However, a stem too short Mayake you bend your back or arms more than what is comfortable. While unlikely a stem too long will make you ride with arms too stretched for comfort.

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.

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.

It comes with a stem mount. I use mine a lot it is very secure on the handlebars.

Actually, I swapped out a set of mountain bike handlebars for this unit. To answer your question, if the stem of the gooseneck is fully inserted into the frame column, it probably won't be an issue. Because I wanted a higher profile, I raised my gooseneck an inch or two - which made the right brake cable a bit tight on right turns. To compensate, I made a quick fix by taking my finger and just looping the brake cable to the right side of the gooseneck. The other shift and left brake cables didn't require any compensation at all - worked just fine.

I'm having the same problem and am beginning to feel kinda stupid. How far through did the holes go? I mean there is one hole in the handlebars, and then two through the post, but it seems like there should be another hole on the other side of the handlebars that should "recieve" the screw. Am I right?

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

I am a cyclist and I also ride a motorcycle with a full face helmet. I would not consider the SENA for a bicycle because of the wind noise. You couldn't hear or be heard!

There is a knob located under the computer console that when loosened allows you to slide the handlebars closer or further away from the rider. This is the only adjustment of the handlebars. Hope this answers your question.

I would call Brian DeHate at TrailTech....his phone is 360 687 4530. His email is Brian@TrailTech.Net. He was really great to deal with when my kickstand broke...all I had to do was send him a picture of the broken one, and in two days I received a brand new one! They stand behind their products. If I had it to do over,I would drop the cash for the billet one, as the 5003 that just bolts on the original mount, still uses the original shiatty mount! The kickstand is the only thing that KTM didn't get right. Hope that helps. Shawn

There are 2 screws located along the bottom of the yolk that holds the handlebars. The handlebar location works for us great right out of the box.

It's on the end. One end comes apart so you can insert it in a USB port (in your car or computer) and the other has a hole for the headset. Hope this helps.
