2. Bicycle fork - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_fork

   Road racing bicycle forks have an offset of 40–55 mm. [2] For touring bicycles and other designs, the frame's head angle and wheel size must be taken into account when determining offset, and there is a narrow range of acceptable offsets to give good handling characteristics. The general rule is that a slacker head angle requires a fork with ...

3. Bicycle and motorcycle geometry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_and_motorcycle...

   Road racing bicycle forks have an offset of 40–50 mm (1.6–2.0 in). [7] The offset may be implemented by curving the forks, adding a perpendicular tab at their lower ends, offsetting the fork blade sockets of the fork crown ahead of the steerer, or by mounting the forks into the crown at an angle to the steer tube.

4. Headset (bicycle part) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headset_(bicycle_part)

   Traditional bicycle head tubes and headsets are sized for a 25.4 mm (1 in) diameter steerer tube (also known as the fork column). Many frame and fork manufacturers are now building their parts around a steerer tube with a diameter of 28.6 mm (1 + 1 ⁄ 8 in). The larger diameter of the head tube and headset gives added stiffness to the steering ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bicycle_parts

   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 which the axle of the wheel is attached. See also Dropout; Frame: the mechanical core of a bicycle, the frame provides points of attachment for the various components that make up the machine. The term is variously ...

7. Reynolds 531 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reynolds_531

   Reynolds 531 "was the standard of excellence for many decades" among bicycle frame-building materials. [1] And because of the availability of a wide range of butting, diameters and thicknesses of tubes, along with different stays and fork blades, it became the tubing of choice for most frame builders.
