🚲 newb question for bike people:

I’ve been riding my fixie cruiser while working back up to my commuter road bike. The handlebars have become loose on the axis that changes their tilt, not height. There is no obvious mechanism to tighten this.

Any ideas?

@toddgrotenhuis do you have a photo of the handlebars?

Does this help?

I can get a better photo outside tomorrow if not.

@toddgrotenhuis There isn't a seam underneath the handle bars to tighten them? Kind of where your arrow is pointing?

Update: well I feel dumb. There was a nut to tighten (that I had missed) and have now done so.
