Stem height Extender vs. Angled Stem???
 

this is a stem extender:

this is an angled stem:

I just wanted to know what the difference would be between the two. the only thing i can think of is that with the angled stem the handle bar would be closer, compared to just my stock stem with a height extender. I have a windsor hour and everything is stock, its a 54cm. Im 5'7 and i feel a bit stretched being in the drops, so i thought with a higher handle bar position it would help. any info would be greatly appreciated.

You posted two links to the same exact thing...

fixed. the extender is only about 24 bucks as opposed to 60 with an angled stem.

why not get a shorter stem?

they're both ugly, with the steerer extender being more ugly. if you're finding yourself too stretched out, maybe try a shorter stem. if that doesn't help, then maybe go for one of these stems.

well i have a bike computer and im worried that if iget a shorter stem i wont be able to fit my computer on it. anyone have any links to some good stems? i only went on bikeisland because thats where i got my brakes and helmet.

Either get a shorter reach stem, or a frame that fits.

decided to get these in 70mm. I was going to go to REI tomorrow to get a stem extender but i realized just how UGLY they look after seeing a picture of a bike with it. i also just realized how long the stock The Hour stem really is.
