Question

ok so i got a new bike 2day and wen i came home the handle bars were not aligned with the wheel and i tryed tightning it but it wont stay out..plzz help cuz i wanna ride it and i almost fell on my face...

Answer 1

The stem is loose, not the handlebars. If it's a threaded stem, tighten the fixing bolt on top. If it's threadless, tighten the clamping bolts.

Answer 2

go to the bike shop, cuss at them, then have them fix ur bike or u'll sue... it always works!

Answer 3

If it's a nice bike, go to a shop.  Let them check it out over all and get it fitted to your body.  Even if your handle bars are tight, it won't be the kind of ride you want unless it's been adjusted top to bottom to fit you. Expect $50 to $75 for a fitting with adjustments, it's a good investment for the enjoyment of your bike.

Answer 4

If you bought it at a bike shop, take it back and get them to fix what they should have fixed before you left the shop.

If you bought it at a big box store, you can try to take it back, but they still might not fix it right.

If that doesn't work, go to this site: http://www.expertvillage.com/tag/bicycle...

Watch the videos and learn how to do it yourself.

Answer 5

take your bike back to where you bought it and have them fix the problem. You should not ride a bike that has problems like this on the first day.

do not buy bikes at department stores ... and this is why.
