Functions and advantages of front fork
Addtime: 2021-09-06   Views: 3659

The front fork part is located in the front of the bicycle structure, the upper part is connected with the handlebar part, the frame part is matched with the front pipe, and the lower end is matched with the front axle part to establish the bicycle guidance system. The front fork is the front shock absorber of a car. The advantage of the front fork is that when you first ride on a flat road, you won't release force when you step on the pedal. When off-road, it can be switched to not locking, so the shock absorption effect will be better. And can resist the impact of the front wheel faster. If it is vertical, when the vehicle is driving on a potholed Road, the root of the front fork will suffer bending moment, and then suffer normal stress (or greatly reduce the bending moment). Obviously, for the front fork, the bending moment is much more dangerous than the normal stress. The turning handle and front fork can change the direction of the front wheel and have the guiding function for the bicycle. In addition, it can also control the driving of the bicycle.

What is the function of the front fork:

1. Buffer

2. Naturally, it is for better shock absorption and lower bumping

3. Hundreds of civilian vehicles can only achieve the purpose of comfort. Some must be damped. Due to the high strength, the shock absorber is easy to be injured and cannot roll over. The mountain race of the Olympic Games is called XC. Usually there are only front shock absorbers, and some add rear shock absorbers, but that's not for better shock absorption. After adding Xc, most of the shock absorption is aimed at the grip of the rear wheels, so that the rear wheels can stay on the ground (you may not understand this without crossing the wilderness)

Advantages of carbon fiber front fork of road bicycle;

1. Reduce the weight of the whole vehicle and have the function of indirect acceleration.

2. The carbon fiber front fork has good elasticity and can absorb more vibration from the ground.

The carbon fiber front fork is usually used by professional riders and riders pursuing higher speed. Travel usually refers to the length of the front fork spring without stress minus the shortest length, that is, how long it can be compressed when damped. It is usually an approximate measurement of how long the inner tube is exposed. It's good to tie things. Naturally, it is impossible to apply all strokes in practical application. Usually, the regular manufacturer will indicate the application travel (write down the travel for normal application).

Advantages of various front forks:

1. Spring fork: the structure of such fork is very simple. There are one or two springs on both sides to achieve shock absorption. When applied, the compression spring can achieve different soft and hard effects and low cost.

2. Oil spring front fork: oil damping is added on the basis of spring fork, which can be used to adjust the rebound speed of spring. Generally, it also has locking function. It has great advantages in flat road and climbing, but it is heavy, and the price difference is large.

3. Hydro pneumatic front fork: this fork uses air pressure to replace the spring of oil spring fork, which can realize soft and hard adjustment according to the atmosphere. It also has rebound and locking functions. The oil and gas front fork is light, but the price is relatively high.

4. Double air front fork: This is the highest end of the front fork. It realizes shock absorption according to the positive and negative air pressure. It has the lightest weight and the highest price.
