ABSTRACT:
A fork for use on a vehicle, such as a bicycle. The fork includes a steer tube, a crown and two fork legs. The steer tube includes a cylindrical main body portion, an upper insert portion intended for attachment to a handlebar-holding mechanism, and an inner reinforcing sleeve that adds strength to the steer tube. The main body of the steer tube and the fork legs are manufactured from resin and filament in order to yield a very high strength, lightweight and shock-absorbing fork.
