10 minute installation. Quality built as expected from BEET Japan. Makes bigger difference than you would expect. At Least for my 5'10" height.
Gives about 5mm fore / aft adjustability as well. Had to angle my brake lever down about 5mm to clear upper at full left lock.

I wonder if you could get a couple more and some longer bolts and end up with 15mm? That's getting closer to the 3/4" total that I think would be helpful.

No problems with the cable lengths?

You may be able to squeeze another spacer in there, but it will be very close. Also, you will be losing more clamping surface for the clip-on.

Can someone do a photocopy of this on a copier to scale? I would like to use it as a template and see if can do a few tests ones on a 3D printer.

Play with thickness and angles.

You're right about the clamping space--no way to put a third 5mm spacer in.

For those that have installed these would you recommend them? 0.4" of additional rise sure doesn't seem like much.

I like it (10mm). Together with Knight Design lowered pegs it made a difference you can definitely feel.
