I was able to retrieve the pin, re-insert and push into place but this is a frequent recurring problem and no bike shop will touch it. Finally, while transporting the bike in the car, the pin fell out and is lost for good. I am sure as the bike is several years old now I can't even get a replacement part. Does anyone know what my options are?
It is possible to replace the handlebar stem. Post a photo, I may have that will fit.
