It's so sensitive. I can't leave my bike resting parallel against a wall without the handlebar rotating all the way through, causing the bike to fall. I've seen people push their bike along a straight line without having to constantly hold onto the handlebar, whereas for my bike, I can't do that. I don't think the bike is too heavy, it weighs about 13kg.
I'm not sure if this problem is loose steering which is a term I've heard about but don't know much. Nothing feels dangerously loose. The issue is the handlebar and front wheel rotating too easily, and I wonder if there's anything I can do about it.
I've attached a photo of the bike's handlebar stem. What's affected if I turn the allen key hole on the stem?
