Abstract
A headset spacer unit and a steering assembly equipped therewith in which the headset spacer unit is formed of a plurality of annular spacers, each of which has a configuration at top and bottom sides thereof which is shaped to enable a bottom side of each of the plurality of spacer to make an interlocking engagement with a top side of another of said plurality of annular spacers in a manner preventing relative radial movement between the spacers. In the steering assembly, advantageously, a highest component of the headset and a bottom surface of the handle bar stem have a complementary configuration for engaging with the configuration of a respective side of the spacer unit.
