Everyone has described it well. Take joe up on his offer, because it’s a really easy thing to do (though a semi complicated thing to explain how to do) with the right Allen wrench and the bike in front of you. Then you’ll be able to fine tune your handlebar height whenever you feel like it

Roberta, one thing to watch for: the minimum insertion line is designed for not-tall steerers so can be a little deceiving. Rivs come with quite a bit of steerer jutting above the headtube, which reveals itself to your eye as an adjusting nut with flats right at the headtube, then some spacers,

Hi Roberta, Normally for quill stems we talk about minimum insertion rather than maximum height. As long as there's enough stem *inside* the fork steerer tube, the stem is okay to be that high. Remove your stem from the steerer tube and see if there is an etched marking on the middle of the

There should be some minimum insertion / max height marks on the stem. Usually some vertical lines. Insert stem until you can't see them to get to max height. Hope this helps. Clayton Scott HBG, CA On Tuesday, April 2, 2019 at 1:45:33 PM UTC-7, REC (Roberta) wrote: > > What is maximum stem
