Later Dia-Compe USA was bought out by Simons & Turner who disposed of its shares. From then the forks were primarily manufactured at RockShox in Mt.View, Ca. In 1992 Turner & Simons, using the RockShox RS-1 design, created a private label fork for Specialized working with Mark Winter. Mark left Specialized a few years later, joining RockShox in ...
Dropout: a bicycle rear fork end that allows the rear wheel to be removed without first derailing the chain. The term dropout is often incorrectly used to refer to any fork end, but not all fork ends are dropouts; Dustcap: any cap serving to keep dirt and contamination out of an assembly. Common over crank bolts, often plastic
Forks have been made from steel, aluminum, carbon fiber, titanium, magnesium, and various combinations. For example, a fork may have carbon fiber blades with an aluminum crown, steerer tube, or fork ends. In rigid forks the material, shape, weight, and design of the forks can noticeably affect the feel and handling of the bicycle.
The development of forks with curves is attributed to George Singer. [8] In motorcycles with telescopic fork tubes, fork offset can be implemented by either an offset in the triple tree, adding a triple tree rake [9] (usually measured in degrees from 0) to the fork tubes as they mount into the triple tree, or a combination of the two.

A SRAM factory in Taichung, Taiwan was converted to RockShox production after the acquisition. [10] RockShox is responsible for producing bicycle suspension products including front suspension forks for both mountain biking (MTB) and pavement usage, rear suspension, suspension lockout remotes, maintenance products and a dropper seatpost.
2020 full suspension mountain bike. A mountain bike (MTB [1]) or mountain bicycle is a bicycle designed for off-road cycling. Mountain bikes share some similarities with other bicycles, but incorporate features designed to enhance durability and performance in rough terrain, which often makes them heavier, more complex and less efficient on smooth surfaces.

Reynolds 531 (pronounced 'five-three-one') is a brand name, registered to Reynolds Technology of Birmingham in the United Kingdom, for a manganese–molybdenum, medium-carbon steel tubing that was used in many quality applications, including race car chassis, aircraft components and, most famously, bicycle frame tubing.
Fox naming of the forks relies on the stanchion diameter, and the available models are 32, 36, 38 and 40. These can have different dampers, depending on the quality of the dampner; Grip/Grip2, Fit GRIP/Fit4, GripX/X2, which provide different ranges of adjustability of both high and low speed compression and rebound.
