Threadless steerer tube extender??

Anyone try this product or something similar to raise up handlebars for a threadless headset?

I have seen those, but I have no first-hand experience to offer.

Are you working with drop or flat bars? If drop, you could also look at riser stems. If flat, I'd lean toward a riser bar.

I've used those in a threaded steerer to let me convert to a threadless stem. If you have a carbon steerer it may not fit and could exceed the manufacturer's recommendation for total "spacer stack" height. With a steel steerer you should be fine.

While not exactly that extender, I’ve used similar extenders for my wife’s bikes. They work just fine.
