Hi,

Is it possible to increase the height of the bar on a Marin Point Reyes? If it is, how do you do it and what tools do you need?

Thank you very much for your help!

    Thank you very much for your reply. Unfortunately I am very ignorant and have no idea what a threadless head set is or whether my Marin has one...I will have to go and find out. All I know it that my white van man husband (and consulting bike machanic in my case), would not touch it as he was afraid of damagnig the carbon fibre...

    You could fit an alternative stem with a steeper angle.
