What is the actual difference in the stack height of the avenir stem vs other stems?
798238
It is slightly higher than the one it replaced, by a very few millimeters, but it was the highest that I could find. I needed any additional height because my shoulders were hurting.

I had to remove a 5mm spacer to get it to fit properly. That is the same as the 490 degree Bontrager stem which I suspect is made by the same place. Having to drop the stem this additional 5mm somewhat negates the additional rise, but not completely.

In my case, the stock Cannondale stem was removed along with 10 mm worth of spacers to accomodate the new Avenir stem, which measures 45mm - a perfect fit. They have a cautionary note that states that you need to be sure you've got 45mm to work with, either current stem sleeve height or with spacers combined. Thus, your fork steerer tube needs to extend at least 45mm. As far as bar height, you're dealing with differences in angle and stem length. I'm quite happy with the rise on my handlebar.

The Avenir web site says that the bracket mounts to 24.5mm to 31.8mm handlebars. My handlebars are 1 1/8" (eyeball measurement), which converts to 28.575mm. I used some rubber inserts that fit into slots in the bracket, but I think they are more for a cushion between the bars and the bracket more so then taking up space. The bag comes with more inserts for the smaller bars and some sort of strap(s) that I have no clue what they are for. The bracket fits around the handlebar/stem connection. On my Specialized mountain bike, it fits perfect. I have gotten to use this bag all the time. The more I use it, the more I like it.

"Please use" in the other answer make is sound like others will work. I think the shape of the stem is specific to PF handle kits or maybe some clones made to fit PF. The good news is that they have a pretty decent selection.

5 stems in one order. The stems are only 3 - 4 foot tall . Order 2 sets for a more full effect , you'll be glad you did .

At the top of the stem, there is a ring built in that is slightly larger than the stem. It expands out slightly against the side of the hole to keep the stem in. You can barely see them in the photo.

you can order a stem riser from amazon. I ordered and installed one - it raised the handle bar eight by about 5-6 inches. If you don't like it you can always return it (for free if you're a "prime" customer and the item is prime eligible, which i'm pretty sure it was)

I think you can get it pretty close. You just put the shortest stem onto it.

Mine came with a 4.5 inch stem. I just measured it, it didn't figure into my purchase!

My recollection is that it comes with 3 pieces that you can connect to each other and/or to the piece that holds the stem. These 3 pieces are 2 pieces of 12 inches and one of 15 inches. So you can do: 12 in, 15 in, 24 in, 27 in

That's really a hard question to answer because the toe clips aren't square, they're curved. On my hybrid bike, the toe clips are 3 1/2" from the center of the pedal to the end of the toe clip. The actual toe clip is about 2 1/2" long end-to-end. The height at the end of the toe clip is about 1", but it slopes upward to 2+" at the final top. I wear size 8 1/2 "trail runner" shoes with my bike (the bottom treads are worn somewhat smooth). The trail runners have pull/clamp type of lace, not a normal lace that you need to tie. That way there's nothing to get caught in the chain. However, one important thing is to use metal "cage-type" pedals, and not "composite-type" pedals. The composite pedals are thicker, and when you use the toe clip, it makes the top of the toe clip too thin for my shoes to fit into them. My hybrid has metal cage pedals and the clips work great - I even bought a new bike with metal pedals and moved the toe clips to the new bike. I also bought a mountain bike with composite pedals, and the toe clips are now too low for my shoes. And I'm too cheap to change the pedals. As long as you're pushing up, down, or forward, your foot is "glued" to the pedal. All you need to do is to pull backward and the shoe comes easily out of the toe clip. They're great!!

I'm not sure. I got two different stems, and only one fits. Not sure which is which anymore. Sorry.

Here is the difference...3M Dual Lock reclosable fasteners are available in three densities: 170, 250, and 400 stems per square inch (the higher the combined number, the greater the closure strength). The stems, mushroom-shaped heads, and continuous-film backing are constructed of a tough, flexible polypropylene. Reclosable Fasteners are available with or without adhesive.So depending on how strong you'd like the bond you can pair up 170/170, 170/250, 170/400 or 250/250, 250/400, or 400/400... We have only used the 250/250, but it looks like in the 170/400 you get a 10' roll of each that you can mix and match. I think I will try this one next.Hope this helps.

The casters are not soft rubber. The stem length appears to be about 1 to 1.25 inches.

I wanna say (from memory) the diameter was just a shade over 1/2"? As for the length, 2" about? I remember when i tapped the holes for the stem all I had was a 1/2" drill bevel and it was just slightly smaller than what the stems were. I ended up just cheating the hole by drilling at a angle to open up the diameter of the hole. Then i just pounded it down with a soft mallet. It was a snug but solid hold.

The numbers represent the rise of the handlebars, how much higher the part you grip is from the center part that is gripped by the stem. 100mm is just about 4 inches and 50mm is just about 2 inches.

Paul from what I can tell it should work just fine. Just make sure that the stem is not a tapered bore, we love ours. They are on Specialized Rockhopper and a Mica. My rockhopper has a tapered bore and I made it work I just can't lower it all the way which for my height isn't a problem.

The stem is rubber and is flexible. It makes it easier for install as well.
