Handlebar Height - Diamondback SHEPPARD CYCLES Owner's Manual

Handlebar Binder Bolt
Exceeds 2 1/2" (64mm)
Ensure handlebar stem does not extend beyond the minimum insertion mark.
(Refer to Part 5 on how to adjust Handlebars).
CAUTION: On some bicycles, changing stem height can affect the tension of the front brake, locking the front brake or creating
sufficient cable slack to make the front brake inoperable. If the front brake shoes move in towards the wheel rim or out away
from the wheel rim when you change stem height, take your bicycle to your dealer for correct brake adjustment before riding it.
WARNING: Failure to properly tighten the stem binder bolt, the handlebar binder bolt or the bar end extension clamping bolts
may compromise steering action, which could cause you to lose control and fall. Place the front wheel of the bicycle between
your legs and attempt to twist the handlebar / stem assembly. If you can twist the stem in relation to the front wheel, turn the
handlebars in relation to the stem, or turn the bar end extensions in relation to the handlebar, tighten the bolts.
If your bicycle is fitted with a suspension type handlebar stem, the same caution and warning should be noted.

Maximum comfort is usually obtained when the handlebar height is
equal to the height of the seat. You may wish to try different heights to
find the most comfortable position. Some bikes now come with adjustable
handlebar stems to allow a customised comfort fit.
