METHOD OF HANDLEBAR STEM ADJUSTABILITY ON THREADLESS STEERING TUBE BICYCLE STEERING ASSEMBLY AND A THREADLESS STEERING TUBE BICYCLE STEERING ASSEMBLY

摘要

A method of handlebar stem adjustability on a threadlesssteering tube bicycle steering assembly and a threadlesssteering tube bicycle steering assembly. A first stepinvolves providing a cylindrical bushing having a first end,a second end, and a longitudinal slit which extends betweenthe first end and the second end. A second step involvespositioning the cylindrical bushing overlying a steeringtube in close fitting relation and extending for lengthequal to a length by which the steering tube extends past anupper bearing. A third step involves tightening a top caponto the steering tube to clamp down upon the cylindricalbushing to produce compression on the upper bearing. Afourth step involves clamping a stem clamp of a handle barstem onto the cylindrical bushing, thereby causing thecylindrical bushing to frictionally engage the steeringtube.
