A fixing device being provided for fixing a stem to a head tube of a bicycle;

• said stem having a vertical tube which has an aperture longitudinally formed in a center thereof;
• a first hole being formed in an upper end of said vertical tube and communicated with said aperture, an inner thread being formed in an upper part of said first hole;
• a spring being received in an inner end of said first hole;
• a first bolt being threadedly engaged with said inner thread of said first hole, a lower end of said first bolt being contacted with said spring;
• a second hole and a third hole which are communicated with said aperture being laterally formed in a lower portion of said vertical tube and each having an open end and a close end, said second hole being located higher than said third hole, said open ends of said second hole and said third hole being opposite with other;
• a piston which has at least one notch formed in a head portion thereof being received in each of said second hole and said third hole, said head portion of said piston facing said close end of either of said second hole or said third hole;
• a ring element being fixed to an outer end of each of said pistons;
• a screw hole being formed in a lower end of said vertical tube and communicated with said third hole, a second blot being threadedly engaged within said screw hole;
• an oil being filled within said aperture, said first hole, said second hole and said third hole;
• when said first bolt is threaded into said first hole, said oil being pressurized and having a tendency to flow into a space between said head portion of each of said pistons and said close end of either of said second hole or said third hole so that said head portions of said pistons are pushed outward in order that said ring elements are pushed to engage with an inner surface of said head tube, and so that said stem can be stably and firmly fixed to said head tube.
