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. The tubes slide over the struts and are fixedly secured to the forks steering tube through a triple clamp. A rim type braking mechanism is secured to the struts by a bypass attachment mechanism, preferably by the provision of a slot through the tube to permit a fastener to extend through the tube and onto the strut. The slot permits reciprocation of the strut relative to the tube. Compressible bumpers in the tube are compressed by the strut and tube interacting to provide the shock absorbing effect.
