    I have tried simple adjustments to the angle of her handlebars, but I think I would like to increase the height of them. I am not sure with her stem if this is simple a matter of loosening it or if I have to buy spacers or what not. I have old school bikes with old school headsets and I have never worked with one like this before. Can you give me some advice?

    I have a Trek 7500. There doesn’t seem to be an adjustment for changing the handlebar height. If there is, how do you do it?

    I would like to see a video on adjusting the handlebar height on a mountain bike. My wife’s Rockhopper’s handlebars are a bit low.
