Patent attributes
A bicycle suspension system including a travel adjustment apparatus. The bicycle suspension system includes a piston tube and a piston assembly slidably disposed in the piston tube forming a shock-absorbing mechanism. The piston assembly is in contact with the piston tube. The travel adjustment apparatus includes first and second fluid chambers, a fluid valve mechanism for controlling fluid flow between the first and second fluid chambers, and an actuating assembly operatively connected to the fluid valve mechanism operable between at least two rider-selectable travel settings to operate the fluid valve mechanism between at least two valve settings corresponding to the rider-selectable travel settings. The first and second fluid chamber are configured such that operation of the fluid valve mechanism between two of the at least two valve settings permits the piston assembly to be moved from a first initial position relative to the piston tube to a second initial position relative to the piston tube such that the suspension system changes from a first of the at least two amounts of travel to a second of the at least two amounts of travel.
