Hello,
Well this is my first bike since childhood (I'm 46). I was knocked down 6mths go by multiple sclerosis and decided I was getting back up with the goal to participate in the Sydney to the Gong MS fundraising race in November this year (50KLM)
I purchased a 2018 Giant Roam 3, had my first ride today and survived! Now focussed on improving my balance, coordination and exercise tolerance
One immediate challenge is my posture - I have a lesion in my cervical spinal cord which causes numbness, electric shocks if my neck is in flexion. Ideally I need the handlebars as high a practicable.
The question - is there some type of handle bar or mod that would give me the option of a higher handle bar?
Thanks in anticipation
You could get a riser handlebar that would give you 40mm more height over a flat handlebar, but I think your Roam may have a 15mm rise in its handlebar, so only a net gain of 25mm there.
The biggest increase you could get would be to go with a stem riser and I have attached two different types that would work with your Roam.
