ABSTRACT:
A front wheel shock absorbing system for a bicycle wherein the legs of the front wheel fork includes struts slidable in tubes. The struts are attached at one end to the wheel axle using a quick release clamping mechanism. Brackets on the strut ends are U shaped and simply drop over the axle and as a result of the clamping action are clamped onto the axle. To avoid upsetting of the parallel relation of the struts, one of the brackets is equipped with an axially slidable U shaped shoe. Thus, the clamping action merely moves the shoe of the one bracket closer to or farther from the other bracket but without affecting the spacing between the brackets and, thus, the struts. Fasteners fasten the shoe to the bracket following the clamping action.
