ABSTRACT:
A fork stop assembly for preventing overrotation of a bicycle fork into engagement with the frame of the bicycle. The fork stop assembly includes at least one catch surface on the frame of the bicycle and a fork stop pin on the bicycle fork. Upon rotation of the fork beyond a predetermined position, the fork stop pin engages the catch surface and further rotation of the bicycle fork is thereby prevented. Thus, the fork is prevented from crashing into the bicycle frame. The catch surface and fork stop pin are preferably formed such that they may be nonrotatably coupled to the respective parts of a bicycle manufactured without such a stop assembly. Most preferably, the fork stop assembly is removable from the bicycle without damaging the frame or bicycle fork or leaving any significant permanent marks thereon.
