MTB Stem 45 Degree 31.8 90mm Bike Stem Wake Mountain Bike Stem Short Handlebar Stem Riser for Most Bicycle, Road Bike, MTB, BMX, Fixie Gear, Cycling (Aluminum Alloy, Black)

I ride a mountain bike, so an adjustable stem was not an option. This stem is rock-solid and does its job well. Quite long on the steer tube - had to remove all spacers to make it work. Check your measurements. Only drawback is that there is no "window" on the front bracket that bolts onto the handlebar tube, so it is not quite as easy to center. You have to eye it up. But that is the only change I would make - no issues otherwise. Make sure you tighten down your headset when installing!

I have been using my trail bike for commuting and wanted a more upright riding position in order to more easily see what was going on around me. I figured moving my hands both back and up around ~ 2" (50mm) would do the trick. I set out trying to find a set of handlebars that would provide the rise and sweep I was looking for. Trouble is, not all handlebar sellers provide specific dimensions for the bars they sell. That and the cost of a decent set of bars got me thinking about replacing the stem instead. I went from a 120mm long stem with 8 degrees rise (dimensions were marked on the old stem!) to this Wake stem which is 90mm long with a 45 degree rise. Using the same flat handlebar that was already on the bike my hands are now about 2 1/2" (~65mm) further back and about 2" (~50cm) higher than before. Perfect for what I wanted and actually a better posture for trails as well.This product is well made and well finished, with thicker tube walls and a taller steering tube collar than the stem it replaced. Beefier, and only marginally heavier.Compared to swapping out bars, swapping out a stem is:1) Faster and easier to remove and replace; no need to strip the brake levers and shifters off the bar.2) Cheaper; $15 as compared to $30-50 for low end bars.3) Easier to determine how the new product will change your ergonomics.

It is able to raise your bar without extending your reach. As a solid piece, and not a hinged one, I think it is more secure. It is fairly well made, you can pay more to do the same thing, but why would you?

I have a hit road Safari e-bike and it has great reviews except they all say the same thing that they handlebars read a loose just about every ride and I bought bunch of different adjustable handlebar necks and since I keep mine at about 45° angle this thing was a lifesaver from having to tighten handlebars every ride

No creaks at least on my bike. I removed a creaky new 145 mm adjustable stem that was one of those cool looking truss-like stems but it creaked loudly when peddling hard. This feels more solid and does not creak.

I purchased the 45 degree, 90mm to replace the factory 10 degree, 90 mm riser on my E-bike. It was very easy to replace, and I have been on several rides with zero problems. I gained a little over an inch in handlebar height, while bringing them about a half inch closer to me. And that really helped to stop my hands from going numb while riding for long periods. The base of the riser that connects to the fork tube is much taller than the factory riser base, so removing spacers from underneath it is required to get a perfect fit.

Cons: The hardware is cheap. And the mounting area has warped a bit as I’ve worked on by bike and had the remove the stem.Pros: literally the only stem without a hinge (don’t trust it on a mtb). With this riser angleWorks fine and I haven’t died on a trail yet

Great product, size is perfect , well made , right height for for my handle bars which makes it very comfortable for biking .
