Correct answer
In the steering-stem and steering-head assembly, associated with the triple clamps.
In the steering-stem and steering-head assembly, associated with the triple clamps holding the fork. They are not in a handlebar grip or between rim and tyre. Easy steering alone does not prove bearing play: check free play, wear and operation. Abnormal play requires inspection and correction before safe riding; adjustment or replacement must follow manufacturer procedures and be performed by someone with the proper skills and equipment. Do not tighten steering components by guesswork or until steering becomes stiff.
