Hand Contact

[augiedog]

I have an older Quest and have been having an issue while pedaling with my knees hitting my fingers while grasping the handle bars. What are some of y'all thoughts and I would like to switch out the handle bars giving me a wider stance.

If you can show us a picture of what you have now (bonus points for you on the bike) I’m sure we can help.

Are the handlebars at the top of the extension tube? If not, try raising the bars a bit.
Extend the boom out another half inch or so. Sometimes that will give you all the clearance you need at the handlebar.
Other options: sometimes rotating or flipping the bars will help, or a longer handlebar stem, or shorter cranks.
