There is a number of possible causes for loose handlebars:
- The handlebars are loose at the connection to the stem. This will cause the handlebars to roll. Tighten the Allan head bolts on the stem
-The stem is loose on the fork steerer tube. This will cause the stem to rotate around the fork tube. Tighten two Allan head bolts on the stem
-The headset is loose. This will cause the front of the bike to wobble and feel loose. Loosen the stem from the fork steerer tube and tighten down the cap at the top of the stem. This should clamp down the headset bearings and fix the problem. If this does not work it maybe the headset is worn or incorrectly installed and will need replacing.
