ABSTRACT:
A bicycle fork for interconnecting a bicycle wheel to a bicycle frame. The bicycle fork includes first and second leg members slidably engaged with each other, an elastomer spring for providing a biasing force when the leg members are compressed toward each other, and a damping mechanism for providing a damping force to resist relative movement of the leg members. The damping mechanism provides expansive damping greater than compressive damping and further allows for adjustment of the expansive damping to fine tune the suspension characteristics of the bicycle fork.
