Bicycle steering bearing assembly
On a bicycle, the metal parts with small balls that let the front fork and handlebars turn inside the frame.
Mẫu sử dụng:

Từ đồng nghĩa
steering bearings (Descriptive and less technical; used informally to explain the part to non-specialists.)
Từ trái nghĩa
bicycle frame (The fixed structure that the headset moves inside; functionally opposite in that it does not rotate.)
