The Suntour Swing Shock fork is based on a coil cantilevered swing set-up, and suspension is given by a coil spring which is located within the steerer tube and can be accessed from the top, [9] technology which was originally used for suspension on early motorcycles.
Fork: a mechanical assembly that integrates a bicycle's frame to its front wheel and handlebars, allowing steering by virtue of its steerer tube; Fork crown: the point at which the two blades of the fork meet below the steerer tube. Fork end: paired slots on a fork or frame at
A Suntour Sprint rear derailleur A front derailleur manufactured by Suntour a pair of Suntour road brakes. In 1964, Suntour invented the slant-parallelogram rear derailleur. The parallelogram rear derailleur had gained prominence after Campagnolo's introduction of the "Gran Sport" in 1949, [7] [8] and the slant-parallelogram was an improvement of it that allowed the derailleur to maintain a ...
A bicycle fork is the part of a bicycle that holds the front wheel. A fork typically consists of two blades which are joined at the top by a fork crown. The crown is often at the front. Most suspension forks have an arch connecting the two side of the lowers (the part connected to the axle.)
A diagram showing the effect of decreasing the head tube angle, the fork offset, or the wheel size (diameter) on the trail. Animation showing how fork offset must change with changes in steering axis angle to keep trail constant. Animation showing how fork offset must change as trail changes to keep steering axis angle constant.
Thoroughly prick the bottom and sides of the crust with a fork and freeze for 30 minutes. Line the pie crust with parchment paper or foil, then fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until the ...
Threaded forks necessitate that the threads on the steerer only use the top 25–51 mm (1–2 in), therefore the forks are sold in varying lengths. If there is a need to use a fork that is too long, meaning the fork steerer is not threaded down far enough, a bicycle mechanic can use a die to extend the threads. This is not recommended if the ...
Most motorcycles today use telescopic forks for the front suspension. The forks can most easily be understood as simply encased long coil springs with hydraulic damping of excess spring energy. They allow the front wheel to react to imperfections in the road while isolating the rest of the motorcycle from that motion. Telescopic forks on a 1969 BMW
