Mountain Bike Riser
How can I rasie the handlebars on a mongoose XR-200 mountain bike??
I don’t think there is any way to adjust them. So I’m guessing I need to get some riser handlebars or a new stem. Does anyone know of a good website to find this stuff, or possibly another solution to my problem?
You can’t adjust mongooses by loosening allen bolt in the middle and pulling up.
I have the spacer in already, there was only enough play to move up a little less than 3/4 of an inch.
I wouldn’t try more spacers, you would only get maybe 1/4 to 1/2 inch before you ran out of steerer tube. You are right, the solution is a riser stem, riser bars, or a combination of the two. Any web retailer will have this stuff
www.performancebike.com
www.nashbar.com
www.pricepoint.com
www.bikeparts.com
There are hundreds out there.
The tough part about threadless systems is that you don’t have the range of adjustment you used to with quill systems.
I’ve seen riser stems that go as far as 25 degrees, but you have to watch out for the reach when you do that. If you keep the same stem length and go for a high rise, you get pushed further back. High rise handlebars also tend to push you back since they tend to angle backwards for comfort.
Seriously, I would take it to a shop and aske them to measure out what you need. You’ll pay more for it, but you’ll also be assured that what you get will work. It’s worth it.
