First Claim
1. Bicycle steering set, comprising an upper roller bearing (2) and a lower roller bearing (18) adapted to guide in rotation a pivot tube, each roller bearing (2, 18) being adapted to be received in a respective annular recess (14, 19) provided within a steering socket (11) forming part of a frame (12) of a bicycle, each roller bearing (2, 18) being associated with a respective ring (3, 24) resting on a support surface of the latter, and an end ring (6) adapted to surround the pivot tube (10) above the steering socket (11), characterized by the fact that at least one of the roller bearings (2, 18) is associated with an adapter (26, 27) in the form of a ring adapted to be disposed between the roller bearing (2, 18) and the bottom of the annular recess (14, 19) so as to adjust the height of the recess so as to adapt the latter to roller bearings (2, 18) having different heights.

Abstract
The steering set comprises an upper roller bearing (2) and a lower roller bearing (18) adapted to guide in rotation a pivot tube. Each roller bearing is (2, 18) received in a respective annular recess (14, 19) provided within a steering post (11) forming a part of a bicycle frame (12). Each roller bearing (2, 18) is associated with a respective ring (3, 24) itself resting on a support surface, and an end ring (6) surrounded the pivot tube (10) above the steering socket (11). The roller bearings (2, 18) are associated with adapters (26, 27) in the form of rings disposed between the roller bearings (2, 18) and the bottom of the annular recess (14, 19) so as to adjust the height of the recess so as to adapt it to roller bearings (2, 18) having different heights.
