Do you know about the front fork of a bicycle?

I often ride bicycles, but do you know some of the principles and structures involved? Today, the editor of Dongsheng Chuang Auto Industry will talk in detail about the front fork of bicycles for everyone.

The front fork component is located at the front of the bicycle structure, with its upper end connected to the handlebar component, the car part component connected to the front pipe, and the lower end connected to the front axle component to form the bicycle's guiding system. The working sequence of the front fork should be: encountering obstacles → the front fork is compressed → reaching a pole → being bounced back to its original length → the rebound system ends.

The front fork is generally divided into springs, oil springs, and oil pneumatic. 

A. Spring: A 

spring is used as a shock-absorbing medium. The structure is simple, usually with springs on one side or both sides of the front fork of the bicycle, with most of the former being. This front fork is cheap and affordable. Usually, it has a soft and hard adjustment function, which achieves different softness and hardness by compressing the spring, but at the same time, it will also lose a certain amount of travel. For example, if a fork with a nominal diameter of 80mm is adjusted to the hardest cleaning condition, it will lose approximately 20mm of travel.

Oil spring is an oil resistance spring, and this type of fork adds oil damping on the other side of the spring on top of it. The function of oil damping is to determine the speed of rebound. So the price of this product varies greatly, usually ranging from 400 to 1000 yuan. This type of fork generally has no weight advantage, and its locking function can only demonstrate significant advantages on flat roads and slopes.

This is similar to the oil spring fork above, except that air pressure is used instead of the spring as the shock-absorbing medium. Adjust the softness and hardness through pumping. For riders of different weights, there will be different pressure values. These types of front forks use air instead of springs, making them lighter and typically less than 1.8 kilograms. Not only that, this type of front fork also has rebound and locking functions. So relatively speaking, the price is relatively high, usually exceeding 1500 yuan.
