Raising Bar Hight

Dunch1979

Hi,
can anyone tell me how you adjust the hight of the handle bars with a threadless stem.

I would like to adjust mine a little higher but can see how it works?

queue falling over laughing at the guy who can't adjust his handle bars!

Cheers

I have a nasty feeling you may be stuffed. The steerer tube is usually cut to suit the rider & therefore permanent.

However, one option may be to undo the stem between the tube and the bars themselves and fix it back upside-down, that usually raises the bars by a fair bit.

Hope this helps...

Looks like the purchase of a new stem is in the pipeline, one with some angle to it so you can mount it the wrong way up to give you the extra inch :oops: you want.
