3.3.2.3 Steering headset

between two different types:
•
Conventional steering headsets for fork steerers
with thread and
•
Steering headsets for threadless fork steerers or
what are known as headsets.
3.3.2.4 Stem
The stem connects the handlebars to the fork
steerer tube. The stem is used to adjust the
handlebars to body size. The stem is used to
adjust the handlebar height and the gap between
the handlebars and saddle (see Section 6.5.6).
Quickly adjustable stems
Quickly adjustable stems are an extension to the
fork steerer. You can change the height and angle
of quickly adjustable stems without any tools. Up
to 3 settings can be adjusted, depending on the
model:
1
Adjust handlebar height
