One of the really nice things about having a threadless steerer is that you only have to change the stem to adjust your position. When someone talked about "flipping the bars" they probably meant "flipping the stem". If it is in the -6 degree position that would raise the bars considerably and make your position more comfortable if you don't like bending your back. It is also possible to get stems with more rise and shorter length but be care not to go too much. When you change position, unless you're pretty far out always take it in increments.
