Anyone try this:Satori Turn up Adjust Handlebar Stem Riser
I have a bad back and can't use drop handle bars. To get the maximum flexibility i put this handle bar on my bike:
Nashbar Trekking Mountain Bike Handlebar

Generally i'm happy with it, but i've been trying to use a couple stems but still not happy with the adjustments that are possible. Accidently i ran across this which looks to have quite a bit of adjustments. But no reviews.. anyone familiar with it?

It might work for you, but no one can say for sure. It has a pivot, so as you raise the handlebar with it, you also shorten the reach. It doesn't let you adjust those two dimensions independently, but no stem does. It might help you find the ideal position. Once you find it, you can replace it with a fixed stem, but you don't have to.

I was thinking the same thing. it looks pretty sturdy so it could work. Even if i don't use it permanently, i don't mind a few unused stems in my parts box for future stuff, especially given my back issues.

It's troublesome and expensive to adjust handlebars by changing stems, but it's often necessary. I also have a pile of stems.
Some stems of this design hold their shapes well, but I rode a bike with a cheap one, and it added a lot of undesired flex to the experience.

'Turn Up' is one of a variety of adjustable angle stems , there are Others .. My Bike came with one from ITM .
Larry vs Harry - Bullitt includes their EZ Up, in their cargo bike Build.
In one size only.. a shared fleet bike, potentially.
AFAIK you Slot your steerer-tube, which Must Be Steel ..
I have trekking bars I just added a stem raiser to a too short a fork on a Used Bike Buy..

I used adjustable stems to to set up two bikes this year...one quill and one threadless...with the intention of swapping out for fixed afterwards. Then decided to just leave both in place. Got a good fit, if it ain't broke don't fix it, and, both be rec/fitness use decisions.
