I just received the bike and there is a plastic piece on the neck of the handlebars that is preventing them from fitting into the bike. Suggestions?

It has been a while since I put the one together for my granddaughter, but if you would email the seller through Amazon, in my experience they will contact you quickly to resolve the problem. I thought I was missing a part, emailed them, & they called right away (a Saturday afternoon) and resolved the problem (it wasn't missing, I just had not looked close enough). Superb quality bike!

Mine is the same way - this is the way it is designed to fit on the KlickFix once that is installed on your bike's handlebars.

First I am just a customer like you I do not work for Amazon, I just know how to make this work for some by using shims which Amazon sells cheap if your handlebars are too narrow if this product is too small on the other hand then you need to contact them and request an RMA not me third this is the first I am hearing this question so please do not blame me for no one answering your question I hope this helps you good luck.

hm... I don't have that problem. It seems like you have a bigger handle bar? I'd bring a screw to a local hardware store and look for a same size but longer ones. Good luck.

So long as your new bars are not radically thick or thin there shouldnt be problem. Might be a good idea to get new cables and cable sheaths too, and make sure you know what your doing... some beginner bike modders get this part muddled and then inevitably end up at their bike shop trying to get help.

it did not fit mine. the diameter was too small to fit around my handlebars. in the end it would cost me more to return it so off to goodwill with it...

your handlebars go through the headtube which is connected to the deck. above and below the head tube are the headsets that hold the bearings in place. The clamp hold the handlebars to the forks, under the clamp you will find two nuts. First try tightening the bottom nut to see if it just came loose, it probably didn't. Second loosen the clamp and remove the handlebars, then loosen the locking nut, (the top one), then loosen the bottom nut. Be careful you will see a bearing in the top headset and the bottom headset if it all falls out, don't be surprised, if your handlebars cannot be fixed with just tightening the bottom adjusting nut then you will need to replace the bearings. You can get replacement bearing for about $20 a set at a place called urban gravity (www.ugscooter.com). I learned this the hard way if you don't keep the lower adjusting nut locked down with the top locking nut you can wipe a bearing out pretty fast, plus it comes with cheap bearings. hope this helps

The bracket that is attached to the handle bars is two pieces that can be tightend/loosend/adjusted with screws. I've used mine on different bikes with no problems. I suppose you could use longer screws to attach it if you have a problem. It's a very nice product.

I had the same problem You can get them from your bike dealer or go to a fastner company like fastenal. I ordered mine through fastenal I have one close. If I can find my invoice for them I will post it here with the part number. I found my invoice but no part # the ones I ordered are stainless steel 4- 40 cap screw 3/4 inches long but might not be the same for what you need I checked the length I needed buy putting the ends on and stuck a small wire through the hole and marked it then measured it and the 3/4 was a perfect fit for me.

I have a Specialized Shiv TT and my bike fits in. I didn't have to take the aerobars apart, just simply loosen the entire handlebar so that it lays flat against the front fork.

Yes, they are like a bicycle gooseneck and could be easily removed if necessary. I just received your message this morning and am at work so I can't measure exactly but I am pretty sure you should be all set to clear with the handlebars removed or laid down.

The rubber on the wheels should be secured properly with glue. What I did was to replace the rubber with the inner tube of bicycle tyres cut to fit and glue on with super glue. Hope that will solve your problem.

I have a Trek Madone SSL and I still have to detached the handle bars and turn then sideways to get them in to the box. You can probably leave the aero attachments on the regular bars.

For me, improper adjustment was the cause. I watched a few YouTube videos, and adjusted them myself. Problem solved. A bike shop can do it for you if your not a DIYr.

Forgot to mention....I adjusted my seat and handlebars, and had Ace Hardware attach some brakes on the upper part of the handlebars as well as to make it easier to use the brakes when sitting upright. It is also a good idea to have Ace or someone else qualified to tune it after assembly.

Exactly same thing happened here when I bought the bike, the center hinge was damaged bent during shipping, that is why. need to exchange a new one.

when you assembled the unit, the cable that adjusts the speed was installed incorrectly. it will be best to disassemble the handle bar unit and start again, being very careful to follow the instruction very carefully.
