A major limitation is the steerer tube length. No matter how many times you cut a steerer tube it won't get longer.

Getting Riser Bars or simply flipping the stem over or getting one with a different rise and reach might give you the added height you need. If you LIKE the handlebars, the stem is the best and least-invasive option as most new ones come with front loaders (detachable front caps) that allow replacement without stripping components off one side of the handlebar. In minutes a Bicycle Shop could swap any number of them onto your bike for you to try.

A reputable Bicycle Shop would have fit the bike to you before you took it home.

Raise handlebars on mountain bicycle

This will depend on what sort of stem you have. Most mountain bikes these days use a clamping style stem that simply grips the steerer tube on the fork. Some will have limited adjustment in that they may have a stack of 2 or 3 spacers that you can place either over the stem or below the stem. This does not give much adjustment. On my wife's bike the stem is actually adjustable similair to this: MEC 110mm Adjustable Stem Mountain Equipment Co op
and might be a good option for this bike.

Seat post shim

Hi, 27.2mm is a standard size for a seatpost, popular sizes includes 30.9mm om newer mountain bikes and 31.6mm on older since it stadardized to some extent. There are still many other odd sizes out there on mostly older bikes.

If you can, get a seatpost that is 27.2mm that fits directly into your frame, with no shim if possible. that will only add weight and creaks.

Also keep in mind that the length is important when you specify a seatpost. You can use websites like this to see what is possible/available before you order:
Seatposts Chain Reaction Cycles

You will also have to consider if you need some setback, if the seat clamp is directly on the post, it is called a zero setback post like this:

Boulder 3 Mountain Bike..location of serial number

Serial Numbers are usually in one of two locations.
  1. Turn the bike upside down and look at what is the very bottom of the frame where the pedals and cranks pass through. This is the bottom bracket shell. Serial numbers are commonly stamped here and will be a long series of numbers and letters
  2. Occasionally they are also stamped inside the rear dropout on the left or right. The rear dropout is the part of the frame where the rear wheel is connected.

I want to raise the handle bars on my Mongoose XR75 mountain bike, any ideas

Be careful, the stem must be inserted at least 3" or to the safety line, or it will snap off. You have to have a metric allen wrench. Like I say, and I cannot stress it more, do not raise beyond the safety line on stem, buy a longer stem, if you want it higher than that. If, the bike is too small, buy a bike that fits you from a shop who specializes in sizing.

How do you hire the handle bars on a giant mountain bike

Hello. You will need an adjustable wrench. Then look at the center of the handlebars and you will see a bolt and a nut. Usually the nut is on the underside. Loosen the nut, raise the handle bars and retighten the nut. J.
