I gained almost 2 inches of handlebar height over my stock stem, and it brought the bars back approximately an inch. So it sounds like this would about do it for you. Also, this was slightly lighter than my stock stem.

Because it is short, there is not much rise. Unless your current stem has little to no rise at all, I don't know you will get much more height with this one. For length it was just what I needed and well worth the price.

I gained about an inch, this really help me get taller on my bike, since then I have purchased a larger bike that fits me better. Good luck, the product is easy to install and I have had no issues with it.

Most handlebars are measured from center to center. In the case of the Avenir 200 flat top, that distance is 420 millimeters. Good width for most people. Also, more comfortable on long rides.

I was limited for space on my 60" wall, so I hung four brackets 12" apart and like you're planning, alternated them between high and low. I own four 26" Specialized mountain bikes with standard length handlebars. To make them fit, I inverted (faced downwards) the lower bracketed bikes and kept the upper bracketed bikes facing upwards. The clearance between the handlebars is 1-2". The reason I hang it that way is so I can take any bike out without having it interfere with the others. Hope this helps.

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.

Hi, I don't think the bars can be raised... but the neck measures approx. 18 inches from the base to the handlebar grips. Remember that this is a folding bike and the size needs to be limited. I find the handlebar height is fine as is. I hope this info. Helped.

It's mainly a question of inseam and ride position. I'm 187cm but have a short inseam. The seat can adjust to a range of sizes but the distance from the seat to the handlebars is not easy to adjust. Up top it's a little cramped for my long torso. My LBS has suggested I get a longer stem to move the handlebars out. Simple answer, get the 58cm but you may have to change the stem.

The column that the handlebars mount on to can be adjusted in height but no other adjustment is possible. I wish it was. I'm 5'10" and thought that I had average length arms, but even with the seat adjusted as far forward as possible I can only just reach the bars.

The manufacturer lists the height table as follows: 3.25, 3.65, 4.05, 4.45, 4.85 & 5.25 inches. In my opinion, if these heights won't work for you, I think you can set the height to 4.05 inches & place a shim of some sort in to raise up to the 4.5 inch level. Again, this is just MY OPINION, you'd have to judge for yourself. Otherwise, perhaps the 4.05 or 4.45 would work for you as is? Good Luck!

The distance from the top of the tube on the rack to the top of the tube where the panniers mount is 1.75". Hope this helps.

In my case, the stock Cannondale stem was removed along with 10 mm worth of spacers to accomodate the new Avenir stem, which measures 45mm - a perfect fit. They have a cautionary note that states that you need to be sure you've got 45mm to work with, either current stem sleeve height or with spacers combined. Thus, your fork steerer tube needs to extend at least 45mm. As far as bar height, you're dealing with differences in angle and stem length. I'm quite happy with the rise on my handlebar.

Realistically about 3" with the riser only. But if you buy an adjustable stem you can gain a couple more depending on the stem and how you use it. I gained a total of 5" using both. Could have gotten 7 with longer neck stem and adjusting it almost to verticle. Will change the feel and handling of your bike so be ready to experiment with the best setup for you. Also your cables will need to be changed to longer ones if you go too high, I had trouble finding cables that would be long enough and had to lower the bars a bit to make them work.

Borderline. Yes, you can adjust saddle and handlebar and paddle away. Depends on the distance. One mile to grocery store, two miles to work, etc, no problem. Thirty, forty miles on trail... the distance between saddle and handlebar may feel too large and you end up reaching out with your arms more than is comfortable. Also depends on upper body length. I am 71" with inseam 31.5", so my upper body length is 39.5". You are 5" shorter, say your inseam is 30", so your upper body would be 36", you will notice the handlebars feel like they're really far forward. The result may be tired arms, numb crotch, but again, only if you go on long rides.

It really depends on how tall the handle bars on your machine are but it will be around 30 inches from the top handle bars. I got this for my father for a gift. I'm not sure what brand his machine is but he is 6'3" and it clears his head fine

No, the handlebar is not adjustable. The top of the handlebar is 47 inches off of the ground.

The particular avenir MTB handlebar I bought has a 100mm rise, and there is nearly 180mm before the curve. I have a 4.5" grip, a handbrake, and an old friction type gear shifter all mounted on one side and equivalent on the other.

The middle bar you can move to where you want it. So the distance is up to you - it can go as high as an inch from the top bar and as low as about two inchs from the bottom.I hope this helps.

I am 5' 10" and I think I am at the maximum height limit for the tall handlebar. Anyone taller would have to stoop a little bit.
