<p>A damper for a bicycle having a primary unit (40) and a remote unit (44) that, in some arrangements, is substantially entirely outside of the primary unit. The primary unit includes a damper tube (48), a spring chamber, and a piston rod that supports a main piston (54). The main piston (54) is movable within the damper chamber of the primary unit. The main piston (54) and the damper tube (48) at least partially define a compression chamber. The remote unit (44) comprises a remote fluid chamber and in some arrangements, an inertial valve within the remote unit. The inertial valve is preferably responsive to terrain-induced forces and preferably not responsive to rider-induced forces when the shock absorber is assembled to the bicycle.</p> |
