How to Easily Extend Handlebars on a Mountain Bike for Enhanced Comfort and Performance
To extend the handlebars on a mountain bike, follow these steps: first, loosen the bolts that hold the stem in place on the fork steerer tube. Slide the stem up to the desired height and re-tighten the bolts securely. Next, adjust the brake and gear shift cables accordingly, making sure there is enough slack to allow for turning the handlebars. Finally, test ride the bike to ensure the handlebar height feels comfortable and safe for maneuvering over rough terrain.
