BMX Steering Parts

Maintain Control With the Proper BMX Steering Equipment

It's crucial for every BMX enthusiast to have a setup that responds precisely as required. This is where steering plays its part. Just like all components of the BMX, the equipment is designed to be robust and long-lasting.

Though your turning is accomplished with the handlebars, numerous elements affect your steering. For instance, your fork ultimately dictates the responsiveness of your steering. On the other hand, the top cap keeps your headset secure and ensures the bars rotate without hindrance.

Is It Possible to Raise BMX Handlebars?

In most cases, it is indeed possible! You will require BMX Tools and an Allen key. Begin by loosening the screws that hold the stem in position. Subsequently, proceed to loosen the compression bolt. With these loosened, you can easily slide the stem from the steering tube.

The next step involves adjusting the bars to your chosen height, which can be managed with spacers. Add the necessary amount of spacers to the steering tube to achieve your desired bar and stem height.

Once you're satisfied, reposition the stem and tighten it securely. Finally, ensure the stem is aligned so the handlebar corresponds with the fork. However, if spacers do not achieve the desired height, you may need to explore a taller bar or a top load stem with greater rise.
