ABSTRACT:
A tensioner nut includes a preload adjusting assembly settled on an upper end of a steering tube of a bicycle, a fixing anchor settled below the steering tube, a cable connecting between the preload adjusting assembly and the fixing anchor, and a bolt of the preload adjusting assembly for tensioning the cable. Thereby, when the bolt is tightened, it tensions the cable and the preload adjusting assembly is pulled downward to give a preload to a stem mounted around the steering tube.
