What is the actual difference in the stack height of the avenir stem vs other stems?
798238
It is slightly higher than the one it replaced, by a very few millimeters, but it was the highest that I could find. I needed any additional height because my shoulders were hurting.

I had to remove a 5mm spacer to get it to fit properly. That is the same as the 490 degree Bontrager stem which I suspect is made by the same place. Having to drop the stem this additional 5mm somewhat negates the additional rise, but not completely.

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.

The Avenir stem fits a 1 1/8" threadless steerer and has a 31.8 mm diameter handlebar clamp that can be reduced in diameter to 26 mm through the use of shims provided, in case your bar is smaller diameter. You need to determine if you have a threadless steerer and measure diameters on your current setup, including the handlebar. A caliper is a useful tool for this purpose - more accurate than a tape measure.

The option of between 80 mm to 120 mm is the length of the riser stem in millimeters.

I purchased one and it is 9" tall in total. Approximately 4 " is the stem and the rest is 5" :o)

the stem is the tube thats sticks up through the front of the frame the size of the stem on nearly all bikes is 11/8" stems,unless its a more expensive one which have a tapered stem which is bigger

It is slightly shorter, not by much though. I tossed my old standard one long ago so, I can't measure the difference. Sorry.

That's really a hard question to answer because the toe clips aren't square, they're curved. On my hybrid bike, the toe clips are 3 1/2" from the center of the pedal to the end of the toe clip. The actual toe clip is about 2 1/2" long end-to-end. The height at the end of the toe clip is about 1", but it slopes upward to 2+" at the final top. I wear size 8 1/2 "trail runner" shoes with my bike (the bottom treads are worn somewhat smooth). The trail runners have pull/clamp type of lace, not a normal lace that you need to tie. That way there's nothing to get caught in the chain. However, one important thing is to use metal "cage-type" pedals, and not "composite-type" pedals. The composite pedals are thicker, and when you use the toe clip, it makes the top of the toe clip too thin for my shoes to fit into them. My hybrid has metal cage pedals and the clips work great - I even bought a new bike with metal pedals and moved the toe clips to the new bike. I also bought a mountain bike with composite pedals, and the toe clips are now too low for my shoes. And I'm too cheap to change the pedals. As long as you're pushing up, down, or forward, your foot is "glued" to the pedal. All you need to do is to pull backward and the shoe comes easily out of the toe clip. They're great!!

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.

This 6150-44 includes three 12" stems and 12" of chain. To reduce the hanging height you can use one 12" stem.

My recollection is that it comes with 3 pieces that you can connect to each other and/or to the piece that holds the stem. These 3 pieces are 2 pieces of 12 inches and one of 15 inches. So you can do: 12 in, 15 in, 24 in, 27 in

Hey Aegis, not sure if the style of these has changed since I bought them but these 3 I have when upright at the highest point is 7 1/4"

The casters are not soft rubber. The stem length appears to be about 1 to 1.25 inches.

Mine came with a 4.5 inch stem. I just measured it, it didn't figure into my purchase!

It looks to me like the stem pictured would have to be twice as long as the mirror but it doesn't appear to be. Perhaps it is the overall length. I would try to contact them to be sure.

you can order a stem riser from amazon. I ordered and installed one - it raised the handle bar eight by about 5-6 inches. If you don't like it you can always return it (for free if you're a "prime" customer and the item is prime eligible, which i'm pretty sure it was)
