Use angled stem

I recently had to raise my bars 1 1/2" after spinal fusion per my surgeons direction. The cheapest and easiest was a stem with a greater angle than 6 degrees. I used a 17 on one bike and a 25 on another. Did not have to replace fork and luckily had enough slack in cables that they could accommodate new height. Did have to adjust existing stem spacers.
