How can I tighten loose handlebars on my bike?

Answer by  Aprique (39)

The pole at the base of the handlebars goes into the front of the frame of the bike. At that point, where the pole goes into the frame, there is a screw or a nut that can be tightened with a wrench or an allan key.

The handlebars are held by a clamping type component. You use the proper sized wrench and tighten the bolt on the clamping component.

Tighten the bolt that adjusts the clamp holding the handlebars. If the bolt won't tighten any further, get new a bolt and/or clamp. This is a safety issue.

There is a nut that is on the stem (the part that holds the handlebars) that you can tighten. If it is stuck, squirt WD40 on it.
