A stem holds the handlebars in position and connects them to the bicycles forks via the headset. There are two main types – Quill stems shown below in the picture, for use with threaded forks and A-Head stems for use with threadless forks.

A large variety of different lengths and diameters are available depending on bike size and type and compatibility with other components used, such as the handlebars and forks.
