Hit my 7 cm high handlebars wg. Bought back problems. Any other change or replacement of the stem would be relatively expensive. Installation is simple - before should consider whether all brake and shiftcables then still have enough 'game' you however. I shortened the handlebar easily with a hacksaw. With this link I now have a convenient and ideal sitting position on my trekking. I'm very satisfied with the higher handlebar and can therefore recommend buying. The price - performance - ratio is very good.
