Hello. I just pulled my bike out of storage for the summer and was messing with the seatpost and I noticed the bottom spacer is off-center.
The bars and front tire are perfectly aligned to each other but the bottom (decorative?) spacer that says ”go go go” when you turn it to the side is slightly off center.
This isnt a big deal and should be safe to ride on right? Maybe I should try and adjust it?
For reference I did have a new stem & bars installed a couple years back.

Loosen from the top – adjust and tighten with correct N-m. Drink a beer.
You can usually just force it back into alignment with your hand. It’s just held it place by the preload set on the headset bearings.
If you want to do it the proper way, loosens the stem pinch bolts, then loosen the top cap bolt. Align said headset piece, then redo the headset preload and retorque the stem bolts.
