You can adjust the handlebar height a bit by adjusting

stem height. A quill stem has an etched or stamped

mark on its shaft which designates the stem’s “Minimum

Insertion” or “Maximum Extension”. This mark must not

be visible above the headset. There are different styles

of handlebar clamps, but all attach to the bicycle with a

stem bolt and wedge nut.

If your bike has a “threadless” stem (ﬁgure Y) the stem

has been installed in the factory and to change handlebar

height requires moving height adjustment spacers

from below the stem to above the stem, or vice versa.

Otherwise, you’ll have to get a stem of different length

or rise. Do not attempt to do this yourself, as it requires

special knowledge and your bicycle should be taken to a

professional bike shop for this adjustment.

WARNING

A quill stem’s Minimum Insertion Mark must not be

visible above the top of the headset. If the stem is

extended beyond the Minimum Insertion Mark the

stem may break or damage the fork’s steerer tube,

which could cause you to lose control and fall.
