Stem riser/handlebar sizing?

VegasSteve · August 29, 2022, 03:36:47 PM

I would like to get an adjustable stem riser to help with a more upright position on my RR6+. I looked on these forums, but the only thing I saw was a stem to raise the height. I would also like to have an angle adjustment. I didn't see any specs as to what size the stem/handlebars are and it seems there are multiple sizes out there. \

Does anyone have such a measurement? Thanks!

If the Rover 6 is the same size as the Rover 5, here's the one I installed. It's a 95mm length for handlbar diameter 31.8mm/1.25".

Looks like a nice stem. I see where these stems are 'normally' installed with the top piece forward. Can it be installed in a back facing position? My goal is the bring the handlebars up/back, not to lean more forward.

Yes. When I first bought it I installed it that way. I thought I wanted it pointing back so I could sit more upright. The handlebars felt too close for me, so I turned it around the other way.

Ok, got it. Thanks for the quick reply!

I put a 110mm adjustable stem on my rover6 but need to go a little higher.

I've found that I need to replace the front brake hose to go any higher and really it needs to be replaced with the 110mm riser.

It's tight and won't let you turn the handlebars all the way to the right
