Abstract: An IFP is disclosed. The IFP includes a sealing channel formed axially about an outer diameter (OD), the sealing channel including at least two walls where the at least two walls of the sealing channel having a smaller OD than an inner diameter (ID) of a chamber and a channel is formed between the at least two walls. The IFP also includes an anti-tipping feature fixedly coupled with at least a portion of one wall of the sealing channel, the anti-tipping feature increasing a length of the IFP.

Abstract: An extended seatpost saddle clamp nut for a saddle rail clamp assembly is disclosed. The saddle rail clamp assembly includes an upper saddle rail clamping portion having at least one opening therein, the upper saddle rail clamping portion rotatably coupled with a housing. A lower saddle rail clamping portion located between the upper saddle rail clamping portion and the housing. A fastening system having an extended seatpost saddle clamp nut at least partially within the at least one opening of the upper saddle rail clamping portion and a fastener at least partially within a fastener opening of the housing. The fastener to couple with the extended seatpost saddle clamp nut to compressively couple the upper saddle rail clamping portion with the lower saddle rail clamping portion to retain a saddle rail therebetween. The extended seatpost saddle clamp nut does not decrease a saddle bottom-to-dropper seatpost standoff distance, and the saddle rail clamp assembly minimizes a required length of the fastener.
