Title: what is it called? riser bar spacer thingamagig? Post by: Le Pirate on July 20, 2009, 09:55:32 AM after mainy hard years. I think my wrist have both had it. The left has been broken 3 times, the right 2...the arthritis kills me. I can't ride my bike for more than about 30 minutes without having terrible pains in both wrist.
I think I might have 2-3 solutions The cheapest being a riser that goes in the bar clamp...but I don't know what would be called on a parts site. Or what site to find one one... [laugh] Anyone have any experience with these? I'm open for suggestions. Options 2 and 3 are quite a bit more expensive. 2. hypertard 3. multistrada ;D Title: Re: what is it called? riser bar spacer thingamagig?

Post by: stopintime on July 20, 2009, 11:20:02 AM I'm afraid risers won't be enough - do you lean on your hands? If you do, risers or Rizoma bars (height and sweep back) probably/maybe won't bring you up enough to escape the problem. I had significant problems with my wrists/hands on the stock bar, with risers, and changed to clip ons for the down-angle and for the radical sweep angle - it helped A LOT. The SpeedyMoto Tall Boys clip ons will do all this, but still be about stock bar height, which isn't so demanding for the core muscles. I hope you find a solution [thumbsup]

I assumed that the bars being higher would cause me to lean on them less than I do now, thus ending my issues, but I can see how the sweep on clip ons would help too I guess. maybe the new bike would be easier [thumbsup] Title: Re: what is it called? riser bar spacer thingamagig? Post by: nikkimonster on July 25, 2009, 06:50:20 PM got my bar-riser from ebay for $39. rRaised my bar 1-1/4". very comfy on a long ride and my back and wrist do not hurt like before.
