ABSTRACT:
A steering bearing assembly includes a head tube, a steerer tube that has a first end which is connected to a front fork of a bicycle and which extends through the head tube, and a bearing assembly disposed between the head tube and the steerer tube. A truncated cone-shaped inserter is disposed in a second end of the steerer tube and has an axially extending threaded bore formed therethrough. A C-shaped resilient member with an inner tapered wall is press-fitted into the steerer tube above the inserter. A threaded bolt is disposed on the second end of the steerer tube and is threaded into the inserter. When the threaded bolt is tightened, the resilient member expands radially to abut frictionally against the steerer tube and to compress downward simultaneously a stem that is disposed on the head tube around the steerer tube.
