Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bicycle parts technology, specifically to a bicycle handlebar stem structure. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, cycling, as an aerobic fitness activity, has been widely used for exercise, leisure, entertainment, and social activities, and has been integrated into people's lives. The existing bicycle stems are generally fixed by inserting or fitting the stem tube into the fork steerer tube from above to achieve axial and circumferential locking between the stem tube and the fork steerer tube. However, the drawback of this installation method is that the locking bolt head is on the upper part of the stem tube and exposed to the outside. After being exposed to sun and rain for a period of time, the bolt head and the inside of the fork steerer tube are prone to rust and loosening, resulting in the failure of the stem tube to be tightened, which poses a threat to the personal safety of bicycle users and has certain limitations.
