Looking for an answer to a logistical question. I have an ibert seat for my bicycle
http://www.amazon.com/iBert-Safe-T-Front-Mounted-Bicycle/dp/B000H4E7EO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1311110933&sr=8-1
We used it on vacation with a bike that happened to be at our rental house and loved it. FF to this week when DH and I got new bikes. I got a Trek Mamba (so basically a mountain bike). But the clearance between my gears and brakes is not enough to install the seat. So two questions. I am thinking that if I could raise the handlebars about 1" I could easily get the seat on. Is there a product that will do that for me...I'm thinking that maybe they sell some sort of spacers to lengthen that space. Or my second thought was that I could rotate my gears/brakes out of the way and also have space.
Any help is very much appreciated! Thanks!
