Adjust handlebar height, need help..

[badkarma]

Hi Folks, does anyone know how easy it is to adjust my handlebar height? What tools and additional stuff I need to do it?

I found this URL but unsure if it useful...

It looks like your stem is as high as it will go i.e. the spacers are all below the stem.
A riser bar is your next option (taller handlebars). I can't see how much rise your current bars have but they generally go up to around 50mm rise.

No - stick with the stem you have and go for riser handlebars.

That will work, but its not designed for serious off road use, but fine for general use - check you cables and wires have enough slack in them to accommodate the increase in height

From the photo, it looks like you have a headset spacer above the stem, these are normally 5 or 10mm thick, if so, undo the central hex bolt usually 4 or 5mm Allen key, then loosen the pinch bolts on the stem, again normally 4 or 5mm, take the top spacer of the steerer tube, lift off the stem with bars still attached, put the spacer under the stem, replace stem and top cap, tighten bolts.

The tools you will need are a set of Allen keys

Not sure there is a spacer there? It looks like the topcap is directly on the stem

To the OP - the stem must be 100% on the the steerer tube. Follow @Darren's advice regarding riser bars.

If the stem is 100% on the steerer tube you will not be able to take up the "free play". The top of the steerer should be something like 5mm below the top of the stem and must be above the top stem bolt.

A stem with a steep angle will be the cheapest and easiest way.

Couldn't be sure from the photo, a high rise stem it is then...
