Review on 🚴 FOMTOR Bike Stem Riser: Enhance Comfort and Control for 1-1/8" 28.6mm Fork Bicycles by Elvis Kimbro

Revainrating 5 out of 5

good product, screws a little loose

This stem extension worked very well. I'm 6ft 6" and prior to this lengthening I had the option of setting the seat too low for my legs and having good upper body posture, or raising the seat to the correct leg height but flexed over the handlebars. The extension is good. The bolts are smaller in diameter compared to the original neck bolts. So far they are holding up, so the extension is 5 stars. If that doesn't work, I will look for an extension with stronger bolts. Assembly has longer took as expected but not because of the product. I found that the nut in my stock was slightly askew - not enough to notice on the original short bolt, but noticeable on the long bolt. I've read a number of reviews that the long bolt was bent, but I'm wondering if those folks had a crooked spindle nut assembly like mine. I've attached a graphic showing what I found. screw head by pressing towards the center with your finger. It is held in place by two star-shaped steel plates pressed into the handle. Not very accurate, but easily straightened out as described above. With a straight nut, the long screw worked perfectly.
