How to install an Adjustable Extension Handlebar Tube on your Himiway E-Bike
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2022
- Do your fingers begin to go numb and your wrists hurt when riding your bike for a long ride? Raise your handlebar 3 inches by installing this Adjustable Extension Tube. What a difference!
Feedback on the Adjustable Stem: I did not torque the screw that holds the stem at the proper angle for me. After a long 15 mile ride, the stem actually loosened up. I had to retighten the single screw that holds the adjustment. I will torque the screw and see if it loosens again.
Also, this channel has a new handle: / @lttlethislittlethat
Possible Solutions (I will update this with additional info once I do more testing):
-Torque to proper torque using a bike torque wrench
-Add a lock washer
-Add Blue Loctite to the threads (don't want to do this)
-Buy a different adjustable stem

Thank you for supporting my channel!
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!
Thanks so much really cool breakdown!
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 .
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
Lose the music.....otherwise great vid.....tks!
What he is leaving out is the calipers to measure the fork tube and the handlebars so you can order the right size stem
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.
Thanks man!
You're welcome!
Thanks
You are more than welcome. 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
Great video, but the background music was too loud
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 please explain tube and riser diameter sizes my bike may have and what to buy to make sure it fits.
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
@@littlethislittlethat456 Thanks John!
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
@@littlethislittlethat456 thank you!
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.
