A bicycle fork travel limiter that limits the maximum extension of the fork, but permits the fork to function as a shock-absorbing unit. A ratchet rod with teeth on the side thereof connects to the upper member of one leg of the fork. A shuttle is slidably mounted to a neutral shaft mounted to the lower member, and contains two pawls that engage and disengage from the teeth based upon the rotational position of the ratchet rod. A coil spring biases the shuttle upwardly toward the ratchet rod. The ratchet rod can move downwardly when the fork is compressed, but upon release of the compression on the fork, the shuttle, with its pawls engaging the teeth, prevents rebound of the upper member other than through a shortened stroke.</PTEXT>
