Hello all,
I went back and forth with Rize and they explained that I could not raise my handlebars anymore from what came in the box with my Rize Leisure Step. I have read you can get an aftermarket stem extender. The company said to be careful to not stretch out the brake lines but it seems like there is definitely enough slack to raise the bars a couple inches. I was just curious as to what I need to know to buy the correct stem extender for this bike. Any information would be helpful. I am 6'2" and although the bike is relatively upright I would like it a bit higher for comfort. How would you know if you are stretching the brake lines too much? I understand if they just run out of room, but is there an issue with taking up some of the slack of the lines to raise it up a couple inches?
