BICYCLE FORK SUSPENSION WITH INTERCHANGEABLE SPRING STOPS

摘要

A shock absorbing system (1) having a spring arrangement with a first (17) and second (19) spring element, and a spring stop (29) which may be interchanged with a longer or shorter spring stop (29) to adjust the point in the compressive travel of the front fork suspension that a changeover between spring elements occurs. The first (17) and second (19) spring elements are arranged to act in series so that, after the first spring (17) is compressed to a predetermined extent, it is rendered inactive and the effective spring rate of the spring arrangement increases as a result.
