I was about to order the above extender from china (Long wait) and then noticed the one below on another post, only 2 quid extra and I`ll prob get it in a few days, are they the same thing, both 120mm long.

Johnny, your UK item is probably in HK, good enough feedback and you'll probably get it quite quickly ( from my experience it could be as little as 10 days)

If I'm ever in doubt I like to look at the sellers details !

Ergotec does an up and down stem extender which also allows you to turn the handlebars flat for in the train or in the garage. Not cheap at 36€ but has a lot of features.

Too late, already ordered them, pity, an hour earlier and I would have gone for them, as I might just have to get them anyway to get the bike into the van garage, as soon as you said "garage" I had a lightbulb moment. Or I might just get quick at swapping it.

one thing to bear in mind with these extenders is you may also have to extend your brake cables etc if they`re already on the short side

The cap is used to set the steering head bearings, so fit the riser without clamping it. Do up the hex screw in the cap until the steering head doesn't rock when you push the bike back and forwards with the brake on. Don't do it too tight - just enough to remove the play. Tighten the clamp screws and check that the steering is completely free and not restricted by tension in the bearings.

Riser arrived today, ordered from china on 11th Jan so pretty quick, the top of mine says "Cartridge system inside" I take it I don`t interfere with that, also there's a load of spacers come with it, but I`m sure all will become clear when I take it to bits, I can see the spacers in Leigh`s photo`s above.
