That is a hard question to answer not knowing what you have on the bike already. There are two things that will make you lean on your hands too much. One is the handlebars too low and the other is reaching too far. If the length of this stem is the same as the one you currently have. It will both raise you and shorten your reach at the same time. I'm sorry without more information I can't really answer your question with a yes or no.

Yes, It raised my handlebars about 1-1/2 inches but because it is much shorter than my original stem it also brought my handlebars 2-1/2 inches closer to me so I am not stretched out as much as before and much more comfortable!!!

If you position the angle upwards it will raise up your handlebars. It will only raise them up approximately 1 inch however. If you are looking to raise up your handlebars further purchase handlebars with a greater bend.

yes, but the resistance not high enough to simulate climbing steep hill. I'm only 150lbs and I have to support good part of my body weight on the handlebar or there won't be enough resistance for a climb. For me, this is the biggest disappointment. Had I known, I would've gotten something else.

The handlebars have a little play in them. Like any other bike you can loosen the bolt and the neck and the bars will raise, but only a little... If you wanted to raise them higher, a longer goose neck could be purchased to replace the origional one. You can find these on line or ask your local bike shop to get you one.

it only raises it a couple of inches. i actually used wood blocks to raise it higher so the bike would level out and relive pressure on my arms.

How much difference this will make depends entirely on what your current stem is. If you look at your bike's specs that should tell you. For me, this made a huge difference! It brought my handlebars much closer, which resulted in less bending of my back, and it lifted my handlebars upward, which resulted even more in less bending of my back. It is lightweight and strong and affordable, and I think it's the best option out there to achieve a more upright riding position.

I really couldn't tell you. I am 5ft. 8 in. tall. I have the seat on the eighth hole from the top. There are 2 or 3 more holes to raise the seat up. The seat height should be fine but I couldn't tell if your knees would hit the handlebars.

I can't answer your question directly, but I just checked my wife's and the handlebars don't appear adjustable to increase the height. She's only 5'3'' now. But she's had hers for several months now. I can tell you the strorage/transfer bag is not in a convenient place to use, and the unit is difficult to maneuver if you carry an item in one hand, and steer with the other. Hope this helps your decision.

I would not recommend that, it would be very awkward to start with and this bike was not built to stand up on. Handle bars would be far too low to be comfortable.You could try it but I think you would not like it.

That depends on how long your arms are. I have a 2ft 1 inch span from my armpit to my finger tips and am under 5'7". When I am seated on the 'bike' I can grip the handles but to move my arms back and forth on the handles as the cycle moves, I have to be bent over. If you are an inch or two taller - say 5'8" or taller - you probably won't have any problem. Even without being able to use the handles, this is a great piece of equipment.

My user is about 5'4" which required adjusting the handlebars up 4-5" or so. She's very happy with it. It's quite sturdy & well made, but not a lightweight. We'll probably buy another. I hope this helps.

In very layman's terms, its the amount of vertical rise you will get compared to a perfectly straight bar handlebar - ie this bar will move you 5.5 inches more upright. 5.5 inches is a LOT of rise even though it doesn't sound like much - a lot more than I originally anticipated. most Mountain bikes are like an inch or less, and most comfort bikes have maybe 2 or 3 inches. This bar will get you sitting very upright.

The adjustment on the handlebar height is very limited. They can move a large amount front to back but not up and down. Hope this helps.

My elbow to hand is about 12 inches and I would guess I might be able to get maybe 4 more inches in adjustment. You might want to try seeing if a bike shop might have some aerobars on a bike so you could get an idea. I think they are great and would recommend them.

No, unfortunately it won't. I had to mount it to another mount that fits on a thicker handlebar.

Yes. There is an adjustment knob on the front that both holds the handlebar in place, and can be used to raise or lower it. Unscrewing the knob completely until it came out, would allow you to remove the handlebar completely (basically the opposite of the assembly process). You will just want to make sure you are tightening the knob completely each time you use it, so it doesn't wobble during use. If I remember correctly, the tube coming up from the base which the handlebar slides into is just about knee-high or so without the handlebar attached. Hope this helps!

Realistically, it barely extends the length of the handlebar. It's more for needing to push a stroller with one hand and less for making it taller.

The unit is quite sturdy, no shaking, but being as it is on an incline, I find that I must hold on to the handlebars (for balance) while walking.
