When sizing a fork to a frame, the diameter of the fork steerer or steer tube (1″ or 1⅛″ or 1½″) must not be larger than that of the frame, and the length of the steerer tube should be greater than but approximately equal to the head tube length plus the stack height of the headset. Adapter kits are available to enable use of a 1 ...
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.
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 ...
On the other hand, a quill stem must be sized to match the inner diameter of the steerer tube. Thus a quill stem made to fit a 28.6 mm (1 + 1 ⁄ 8 in) steerer tube has an outer diameter of 25.4 mm (1 in). For 25.4 mm (1 in) steerer tubes the quill diameter is most often 22.2 mm (7 ⁄ 8 in) but some older American bicycles used 21.15 mm. Some ...
The most common form of front suspension for a modern motorcycle is the telescopic fork. Other fork designs are girder forks, suspended on sprung parallel links (not common since the 1940s) and bottom leading link designs, not common since the 1960s.

A telescopic fork uses fork tubes which contain the suspension components (coil springs and damper) internally. This is the most common form of fork commercially available. It may or may not include gaiters for protection against abrasive elements on the suspension cylinders. The main advantages of the telescopic fork are that (i) it is simple ...
