How to Tighten a Loose Bicycle Handle

Introduction

It is very common for a bicycle's handlebar to loosen up over time. Continuously riding the bicycle over a rough terrain may cause a screw on the handle to loosen up from all the consistent vibrations. It is very dangerous to ride a bicycle with a loose handle. Specifically, you may encounter a loss of control over the bicycle, which can make it difficult to steer and maintain balance over the road, leading to a serious injury. Additionally, there is a high chance of a sudden failure in the handlebar. This failure may cause the handle to unexpectedly detach from the bicycle itself, causing a serious accident. To avoid these injuries it is necessary to tighten your handle bar so that you do not get into any accidents that may harm you or others around you. If your Huffy Granite 24" bicycle has a loose handlebar, then this guide will provide you with simple step-by-step instructions to tighten the handle.
