Triple clamp, Wind. The triple clamp is a steering column part: it connects the front fork legs and holds them on the frame head, transmitting the force from the handlebar.
Replace it if it is deformed after a fall, cracked, or if the fork has play. When replacing, check the steering bearings and the stem diameter: it must match the mounting holes. When disassembling, also check the axles, bushings and fasteners: worn neighboring parts will quickly ruin the new ones.
