hello,
I just bought a new bike, bike here, I have zero bike repair skills. I am six feet tall and i was trying to raise the handle bar up and i seemed to have messed something up.
Well for one, the manual says that it only raises up about 2 inches and there are supposed to be some markers on the stem, but i didn't see any. 2 inches is not a lot but i guess it is better than nothing. I raised it up about two inches and tightened those two bolts the stem clamp bolts i think, so i thought i was good.
I went to move it and now the frame of the bike is all wobbly like it is floating around inside the tube. I checked all the bearings and everything is tight and firm when i put the bolts back on but it is still wobbly.
Any clues on a possible fix? Or what i messed up?
