Abstract: A fluid damper having a damper housing with a first and a second fluid volume, and a damping piston located within the damper and separating the first and second fluid volume. The damper piston has a piston fluid pathway formed therethrough and between the first and second fluid volume. The fluid damper includes a fluid accumulator having an accumulator fluid volume. The fluid damper has a first fluid pathway extending between the first fluid volume and the accumulator fluid volume, and the fluid damper has a second fluid pathway extending between the second fluid volume and the accumulator fluid volume. A flow control valve is located in at least one of the first and the second fluid pathways, and the flow control valve has a non-zero threshold value.

Abstract: A fluid damper having a damper housing with a first and a second fluid volume, and a damping piston located within the damper and separating the first and second fluid volume. The damper piston has a piston fluid pathway formed therethrough and between the first and second fluid volume. The fluid damper includes a fluid accumulator having a pressurizable gas volume and an accumulator fluid volume isolated from one another by a separation member. The fluid damper has a first fluid pathway extending solely between the first fluid volume and the accumulator fluid volume, and the fluid damper has a second fluid pathway extending solely between the second fluid volume and the accumulator fluid volume. A flow control valve is located in at least one of the first and the second fluid pathways, and the flow control valve has a non-zero threshold value.

Abstract: A dropper seatpost head assembly is disclosed. The assembly includes a lower post for insertion into a seat tube of a vehicle and an upper post having a housing coupled at one end thereof, the upper post to telescopically slide with respect to the lower post to form a dropper seatpost. The assembly also includes a saddle rail clamp assembly having a lower saddle rail clamping portion rotatably coupled with the housing and an upper saddle rail clamping portion to couple with the lower saddle rail clamping portion to form a clamping structure. The lower saddle rail clamping portion having a drooped shape such that the lower saddle rail clamping portion and the clamping structure hang down in a plane that intersects at least a portion of the housing.
