Many threadless fork steerer tubes are cut longer than necessary to allow for adjustments and the steerer tube above the stem is stacked with spacers that can be moved above or below the stem to fine-tune the handlebar height. Often these spacers are aluminum or carbon fiber, but titanium spacers are also available.
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.
Adapter kits are available to enable use of a 1 in (25 mm) fork in a frame designed for a 1 + 1 ⁄ 8 in (29 mm) steerer tube or a 1 + 1 ⁄ 8 in (29 mm) fork in a 1 + 1 ⁄ 2 in (38 mm) frame. Manufacturers of high-end bikes, both road and mountain, have adopted tapered steerer tubes as the de facto standard, with a 1 + 1 ⁄ 8 in (29 mm) OD ...
A fork end, [1] fork-end, [1] or forkend [2] is a slot in a bicycle frame or bicycle fork where the axle of a bicycle wheel is attached. A dropout is a type of fork end [3] that allows the rear wheel to be removed without first derailing the chain. Track bicycle frames have track fork ends, on which the opening faces rearwards. Because they do ...
The adapter design pattern describes how to solve such problems: Define a separate adapter class that converts the (incompatible) interface of a class (adaptee) into another interface (target) clients require. Work through an adapter to work with (reuse) classes that do not have the required interface.
The stem is the component on a bicycle that connects the handlebars to the steerer tube of the bicycle fork. Sometimes called a goose neck, [1] a stem's design belongs to either a quill or threadless system, and each system is compatible with respective headset and fork designs:
The Earles fork is a variety of leading link fork where the pivot point is behind the front wheel, which is the basis of the Earles' patent. [3] Patented by Englishman Ernest Earles in 1953, the design is constructed of light tubing, with conventional 'shock absorbers' mounted near the front axle.
