ABSTRACT:
A bicycle fork crown (10) or a fork crown cover (100) is disclosed having a connector holder (14, 114) with an inlet (18, 118) for receiving electrical cables (16a, 116a), and an outlet (20, 120) for receiving an electrical connector (22, 122). The connector holder (14, 114) retains the electrical connector (22, 122) and the electrical cables (16a, 16b) in a fixed position to facilitate installation and maintenance of the cables and the connection. The fork crown (10) or the fork crown cover (100) also includes a setting boss (12, 112) dimensioned to receive a connector cable terminal (28, 128). The connector cable terminal (28, 128) can be securely fastened to the setting boss (12, 112) by a fastening device (36, 136), such as a setting screw. In one embodiment of the invention, the fork crown (10) includes a rubber cover (150) that covers the terminal (28) and the electrical connector (22). In another embodiment of the invention, the fork crown cover (100) includes a pre-load adjuster cap (140). The fork crown cover (100) preferably has an upper crown cover (104) and a lower crown cover (102). The upper and lower crown covers (104, 102) can be attached together with any known fastening device.
