   Trail can also vary as the suspension activates, in response to braking for example. As telescopic forks compress due to load transfer during braking, the trail and the wheelbase both decrease.

A threadless stem should match the outside diameter of the steerer tube; a reducing shim may be employed to match a 28.6 mm ( 1 + 1 ⁄ 8 in) stem ...

7. Bicycle suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_suspension

   Many mountain bikes have a full suspension design. In the past, mountain bikes had a rigid frame and a rigid fork. In the early 1990s, mountain bikes started to have front suspension forks. This made riding on rough terrain easier on a rider's arms. The first suspension forks had about 1 1 ⁄ 2 to 2 inches (38 to 50 mm) of suspension travel ...
