3. Handlebar Height
It is recommended you try various handlebar heights to find the most suitable position
for you. Usually it is most comfortable when the handlebar height is the same as the
height of the seat. The handlebar stems of some bikes can be altered to customise
fit even further.
Caution:
Ensure the handlebar’s stem does not extend beyond the minimum
insertion mark. (Refer to Part 5 on how to adjust Handlebars).
WARNING:
The steering action may be compromised if the stem binder bolt, the
handlebar binder bolt or the bar end extension clamping bolts are not
sufficiently tightened. This could result in the rider losing control and falling.
To check, try to twist the handlebar/stem assembly whilst the front wheel
of the bike is positioned between your legs. If the stem twists in relation
to the front wheel, the handlebars turn relative to the stem, or the bar end
extension rotates in relation to the handlebar, the bolts need
to be tightened.
