Thank you for this video! We bought two new step thru Zebras for Christmas, and I just ordered the adjustable stems for them. This was the perfect demonstration to give me confidence to switch them out!
So I have a Sailnovo e-bike that folds, and it broke where it folds. After watching some vids, it looks like I can install a stem, handle bar, a riser, and maybe some spacers. Any tips? I currently have the handlebar and stem out, but the wiring is still around the handlebars
Thanks for the video ,,,,,,,,,I tried my new e bike yesterday on the C&O Canal ,,,,,,I had my seat as low as it would go and when i put my hands on the handlebars my eyes were naturally focused on the front tire , so i had to tilt my head way back to look forward , very uncomfortable ,,came home and ordered an adjustable stem like you have (plus a more comfortable seat lol) Your video was just what i needed ,, not 100% sure i ordered the right size but with am@zon no issues getting s different size .
I have a question. After installing my bike stem I Ickes it up to see if fork was snug and it moves, so I retightened as I held in place and it still moves. What I’m I doing wrong? Thanks
You might need to add a small spacer and that will allow it to be tightened to not allow movement. You can buy a set of spacers on Amazon. Here is my associate link to the spacers I bought: amzn.to/3Pj6oTu I didn't need to add any on my bike. John
Yes, you do need to know the fork tube diameter. That can be by using calipers or looking at the spec's for your bike. I did the latter. If you order the wrong size stem, all bets are off the table.
I don't know what bike you have. In the description above, I put the link t the stem I used for a Himiway Zebra. To find out the size of your stem, you would need to measure it with a digital caliper (Digital Caliper, Adoric 0-6" Calipers Measuring Tool Electronic Micrometer Caliper with Large LCD Screen, Auto-off Feature, Inch and Millimeter: amzn.to/3YMcih1 for $10) that you can buy cheaply on Amazon. Also, you can contact your bike manufacturer support line and ask the size. John
It's a learning process when making videos. I know I turn down the music to at least 50% of volume. Lately, I've been going to 30% or lower when I use music. Also, when there is talking, the music is supposed to quiet down even more. Thanks for commenting. John

can you install the extension 180 degrees to bring the handlebars back toward you?
I have not done it but you can go ahead and try it. It sure seems like it would work. John

I'm really sorry. I have no idea how to help. John
Thanks so much really cool breakdown!

Glad you are doing what I did. I notice that my wrists are very sensitive to the angle on the handlebars but the rising stem does help. John

@@littlethislittlethat456 thank you!
What he is leaving out is the calipers to measure the fork tube and the handlebars so you can order the right size stem

Lose the music.....otherwise great vid.....tks!
Can you please explain tube and riser diameter sizes my bike may have and what to buy to make sure it fits.

@@littlethislittlethat456 Thanks John!
Thanks man!
You're welcome!
Thanks
You are more than welcome. John
It raises the bars but i want them closer not necessarily higher. Glad I didn’t buy them ahead of time or id be pissed
Closer would be good too.
Great video, but the background music was too loud
