Systems and methods directed to a steering column clamp for securing a steering column to a steerer tube are provided. The steering column clamp may include an internal clamp portion having longitudinal slot disposed at least partially between a first end of the internal clamp portion and a second end of the internal clamp portion. The steering column clamp may include a tightening mechanism, when engaged, causes the internal clamp portion to compress about a steerer tube placed in a first end of the internal clamp portion. The steering column claim may also include an exterior wall portion at least partially enclosing the internal clamp portion such that a hollow portion is between the internal clamp portion and an internal surface of the exterior wall portion of the steering column clamp.

A front suspension assembly for a vehicle having a connector adapted for connection to a front ground engaging member of the vehicle, a lower swing arm adapted for pivotal connection to a frame of the vehicle about a lower swing axis and being pivotally connected to the connector, an upper swing arm adapted for pivotal connection to the frame about an upper swing axis and being pivotally connected to the connector, the upper swing arm being above the lower swing arm, and a shock absorber assembly having a first end adapted for pivotal connection to the frame above the upper swing axis and a second end pivotally connected to the upper swing arm. The connector is pivotable relative to the lower and upper swing arms about a steering axis. A vehicle having the front suspension assembly is also disclosed.

The present invention relates to a head assembly for a bicycle including a front fork tube arranged to extend through a head tube of a frame of the bicycle and a tensioning assembly for tensioning of the headset assembly relative to the front fork tube, such as for rotation relative to the front fork tube by means of a suitable bearing. The tensioning assembly includes a tensioning member, such as a bridge or star, preferably with an inner screw thread, arranged in the front fork tube, suitable for receiving a fixation tensioner, such as a tensioning bolt, preferably with an outer screw thread, and for receiving of a tensioning force of the headset assembly, a tensioning sleeve for arranging about a length of an end of the front fork tube and for extending somewhat beyond the end of the end of the front fork tube, and a tensioning cap for applying the tension between the front fork tube and the tensioning sleeve by means of the fixation tensioner. The headset assembly is suitable for functional mounting and tensioning by means of the fixation tensioner prior to mounting of a bicycle handlebar or handlebar bend to the headset assembly.

The present application is directed to a Bicycle Stem with Integrated Bell that mounts between the steering post and the handle bars. It incorporates a utility accessory mount for attaching a front light, a camera or other devices that can be easily removed. In addition, it will have an internal cavity where a gravity and motion activated conventional bell that can ring using a magnetic on/off option or a mechanical on/off capability. The internal cavity may additionally house an electronic component with a bell or siren having a continuous sound or when the cyclist presses the on/off switch or an intermittent audible sound control button.

A saddle-riding vehicle includes a front wheel suspension device which supports a steering wheel (front wheel) and a steering handle (bar handle 4), a chassis frame which supports the front wheel suspension device to be steerable, a handle lock mechanism 60 which locks the steering of the front wheel suspension device with respect to the chassis frame at a predetermined handle lock position P1, a steering actuator 43 which applies an assist torque to the front wheel suspension device, and a control device 23 which controls the driving of the steering actuator 43. The control device 23 operates the steering actuator 43 so that the front wheel suspension device is turned to the handle lock position P1 when detecting a predetermined lock standby state.

A bicycle headset includes a fixed member, wherein the headset is fixed onto a headtube of a bicycle via the fixed member. A steerer tube of a fork passes through the headtube and is connected to a fork portion. The fixed member has a first contour including a first guiding section, a second section, and a joint section that connects the first section and the second section and is located at the highest site among the first contour. A rotating member is fixed onto the steerer tube. A movable member is disposed onto the rotating member and is movable along an axial direction of the steerer tube. An elastic member urges the movable member to allow a second contour of the movable member to constantly touch the first contour of the fixed member, thereby preventing a stem connected to the steerer tube from overly turned and assisting to steer back.
