Patent ID: 7396032

Claim:
A bicycle headset structure comprising: a tubular section having a first end with an upper end opening, a second end, and an axial passageway extending axially from the first end towards the second end of the tubular section, the second end having a lower end wall that is axially spaced from the upper end opening along the axial passageway, the lower end wall forming an internally threaded hole and at least one opening for one or more wires to extend through the lower end wall, the tubular section being a one-piece, unitary member; a top abutment section extending radially from the tubular section to form an abutment surface that faces in an axial direction towards the second end of the tubular section; and a steerer tube attachment section adjustably coupled to the internally threaded hole of the tubular section, the steerer tube attachment section including an abutment member arranged below the second end of the tubular section, wherein the abutment member being external of a steerer tube so as to contact a lower surface of a front suspension fork, such that selective adjustment of the steerer tube attachment section results in the abutment surface and the abutment member changing oppositely directed forces applied to a bicycle head tube when the abutment surface and the abutment member are axially adjusted relative to each other due to the selective adjustment of the steerer tube attachment section, the steerer tube attachment section and the tubular section being configured to form a continuous access passage extending from the upper end opening to the abutment member.
