Is it possible to set this fork steerer / stem higher?
This is a traditional quill stem, meaning it's shaped like a &quot;7&quot;, with the vertical part fixed inside the steerer tube by a wedge bolt.
There should be an allen bolt at the top--it looks like it might be covered by a rubber plug here. Loosen that and give it a light tap with a mallet to dislodge the wedge. You should then be able to raise the stem. If you can't raise it as high as you want, you could replace it with a new stem that's taller.
