How to raise the handle bars on an MTB (3 ways)

[@juankruger2598]

So.... those handlebars are still in the same place, you just changed bars. Does anybody know how to actually do what this title claims? How do I actually raise the centre "pipe" that comes out of the bike's frame, so that the handlebars are actually higher away from the frame. For a taller person to not have to ride with a hunched back? How do I raise the bars? I've loosened everything, but it still remains in place...

“Just get new handlebars” - So stupid

[@chrisbradley1192]

See 4:25 and 5:27

[@neilhudson6194]

sorry--couldn't concentrate on what you were doing because of the really irritating music

[@diymountainbike]

But can you dance to it? I'm just a dude trying to help out😃

[@scuukum]

turn that stupid background noise off!!!

[@mickyb.8014]

100% Agreed, really annoying, bugs the hell out of me why people make 'Instructional videos' and then have stupid annoying loud music playing over the narrator's audio... Shaking my head as to why people do this, it's just stupid.

[@diymountainbike]

I'm always learning, thanks for the comment 🚴

[@SandyCOfficial]

You just changed the handlebars 😡

[@diymountainbike]

Thanks, yes handlebars and stem.

[@ebayerr]

The link for the adjustable stem is not in the description.

[@antonygilbey7987]

why is everything a ballache today you just use to slacken off a nut and pull the bars up years ago always more attachments required today typical, nothing simple anymore.

[@moons4768]

Doesn’t really work with these bikes…hardly any length left inside the tube. Same problem I had.

[@carrickdubya4765]

Just the video I was looking for but fast music tempo was a distraction while you were speaking. Everyone's different . . . ymmv

[@andrewkeller1117]

Great video. Thanks for the demonstration. I have a question as I am looking to do something similar with my bike: The stem you had on the bike initially was long, but it also had a good rise. I would have thought that kind of stem would be better for getting a more upright sitting position. Would it not? What would have happened if you kept the stem the same but used the riser handlebar? The reason I am asking is that the stem I have currently is just like the one you put on, and I've been looking into buying a particular stem (Velo Orange Happy Stem) with a rise like the one you had initially. Now I'm thinking that might not be a good idea after watching your video and that I should just get a handlebar with a better rise.

[@diymountainbike]

The rise combined with the length is key.🚴

Stumbled upon this channel, I’m subscribed to your fly fishing channel! Small world, good information brother. Thanks.

[@diymountainbike]

I'm hustling to make a living on the Internet....tight lines 🐟

[@claudia98042]

Does anybody know how to change a flat mountain bike handlebar (huffy-kolo with speed Shift) to a hi-rise handlebar?? To be more precise, i would like watch a tutorial about it. I own a mountain bike but the handle is too uncomfortable for me. Thanks

[@moons4768]

I am thinking about putting a chopper handlebar on my MTB. Getting old so want to ride bike upright position.

[@diymountainbike]

I'm getting ready to put some higher rise handlebars on my wife's ebike. It seems like the ebike manufacturers aren't understanding who is buying and using their bikes. Cheers🚴😎

[@tally2312]

Are those bars 40mm or 60mm rise? Thx in advance

[@diymountainbike]

60 mm rise. Here's the Amazon link amzn.to/3UUCupR

[@mtbboy1993]

This will help. but won't fix the awful old school geometry. Yea that bike definitely does not fit you. I'm glad geometry has come so far.

[@diymountainbike]

The bike is my sisters, she's smaller than me. Your correct in that modern MTBs have changed frame geometry a lot. 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️

[@mtbboy1993]

@@diymountainbike Good you are not abusing yourself with this bike.

[@SandyCOfficial]

The way to do it is to get a longer stem

[@diymountainbike]

Agreed, that's one way.

[@EvendimataE]

all my mountain bikes have bmx bars...:D

[@diymountainbike]

The rise on BMX handlebars works great. Attaching at stem can get complicated on some bikes. Thanks for the comment! 🚴‍♀️

[@funkmeyer4614]

was the fart to bleep out a word, or just for decoration?

[@diymountainbike]

Oops 🤫

[@jluvonly1]

i heard it to i think that was a fart😂😂

[@fsmclean]

It would have been nice to see all the parts of the different handle bars.

[@diymountainbike]

Great comment, Maybe I can redo this this video and include. 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️

[@BIKESnSKILLETS]

See a screw loosen it and raise it 😅

[@diymountainbike]

That is one way to do it! 🚴🚴🚴

[@littlecajun2241]

Thanks :-) Did you add a link for Adjustable Stem?

[@diymountainbike]

I'll try 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️

[@DG-fe4ht]

I just installed a 3.5 rise bar with a 35 degree neck. Big difference .

[@diymountainbike]

Isn't it cool that a simple thing like raising the bar can change the feel. 👍

[@SandyCOfficial]

​@diymountthats why you put on different handle bars ,which yiu didn't need to

[@jjt1881]

It doesn't work with my EUROBIKE Mountain Bike，27.5 inches

[@eespinosa64]

Hi. Great video. I don't see the link to the device used for the handlebars on your wife's bike

[@diymountainbike]

The stem on my wife's bike came with the bike. I found this one that's probably a close match. www.amazon.com/Adjustable-Handlebars-Suitable-Mountain-31-8x28-6x110mm/dp/B097SQV9MW/ref=sr_1_8?crid=KZP326QSEUM1&keywords=adjustable+angle+bike+stem&qid=1655054674&refinements=p_72%3A1248957011&rnid=1248955011&s=sporting-goods&sprefix=adjustable+angle+bike+stem%2Caps%2C169&sr=1-8

[@TheBluenoserboy]

ProTip: Set the video to mute and turn on the closed-captions, so you don't have to listen to that aggravating music.

[@brentcruede6544]

By far the best and clearest explanation on the internet... It's the only one that clearly explains the principle of needing just the right gap between the steering tube and the stem assembly. THANKS!

[@diymountainbike]

Thanks 👍🚴

[@SandyCOfficial]

No its not

[@juankruger2598]

Seems like I'll need to buy some spacers and a new stem bolt to lock again at a higher position

[@MattPhelps76]

This looks more like lowering the bars than raising

[@ScreamingEagleFTW]

how tall are you and what size is that bike? Thanks.

[@aaronlook2594]

Dude rips ass at like 2:10 or so mark lol

[@diymountainbike]

Just a little one....🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️

[@scottwilliams2453]

do you own a bike shop

[@diymountainbike]

I know this sounds weird, but I really enjoy tinkering on bikes. - no I don't have a shop.

[@jgrc73]

Right on

[@Zero-90977]

Thank you God for 1.75x. Dude, your demeanor makes my mind go into very dark places.

[@diymountainbike]

Glad I could help 🚴🚴
