Abstract
A bicycle headset includes a fixed member, wherein the headset is fixed onto a headtube of a bicycle via the fixed member. A steerer tube of a fork passes through the headtube and is connected to a fork portion. The fixed member has a first contour including a first guiding section, a second section, and a joint section that connects the first section and the second section and is located at the highest site among the first contour. A rotating member is fixed onto the steerer tube. A movable member is disposed onto the rotating member and is movable along an axial direction of the steerer tube. An elastic member urges the movable member to allow a second contour of the movable member to constantly touch the first contour of the fixed member, thereby preventing a stem connected to the steerer tube from overly turned and assisting to steer back.
