A bicycle, comprising:
a bicycle frame (120);
a wheel;
a shock absorber coupled to the bicycle, the shock absorber comprising:
a primary tube (302) comprising a fluid chamber (314);
a piston rod (310) that supports a piston (308), wherein said piston is movable within said primary tube;
said bicycle characterized in that said shock absorber comprises a remote tube (304) comprising a remote fluid chamber, an inertial valve (322) within said remote tube that is responsive to terrain-induced forces and not responsive to rider-induced forces, wherein said inertial valve opens in response to said terrain-induced forces and fluid flows from said fluid chamber of said primary tube (302) to said remote fluid chamber in response to movement of said piston rod (310) and said piston (308) into said primary tube (302) and said inertia valve (322) has a closed position wherein flow from said primary tube to said remote tube in response to movement of said piston rod and said piston into said primary tube is reduced;
a floating piston (328) in said remote tube (304), wherein said floating piston moves in response to said flow of said fluid from said fluid chamber of said primary tube into said remote fluid chamber. |
