How to Adjust the Handle Bar Height on a Mongoose Bicycle

While the importance of a quality bicycle is obvious, many fail to take full advantage of their high-quality cycles by properly adjusting the bicycle's components. While some riders may find that maximum comfort is obtained through the use of a custom handlebar height, adjusting the handle bar to the same height as the seat typically results in the the most comfortable riding experience. The handlebar adjustment process for Mongoose bicycles is straightforward and requires only a wrench.
