I need to raise the handlebar height on my 26" bike
There are so many screws and the owner's manual doesn't give me instructions on which screw needs to be loosened to raise it!!! Its a coaster brake model - - any ideas?
On the neck, the bolt would be at the top, dead center, screwed down inside the neck. Loosen it about 5 full revolutions. Then take a hammer and tap it back down. Lift the handlebar to desired height, and hold it there 'til tight. Also while it's a little loose turn it clockwise/counter clockwise, to make the bar straight (while holding the front wheel) before fully tightening. Then your done! Glad to help. Best wishes to you.
