Abstract: A suspension stabilizer and method are described which may be attached to a bike having front fork suspension to improve handling and reduce rider fatigue. The suspension stabilizer may include a counterweight, a spring assembly and a guide assembly. The spring assembly may be arranged to provide a spring force between the counterweight and the guide assembly to resist linear motion of the counterweight along a guide assembly axis. The counterweight and spring assembly may have a natural motion frequency of 3 to 15 Hertz and may be based on one or more characteristics of the front fork suspension.

Abstract: Example bicycle suspension components are described herein. An example suspension component includes an air spring including an air spring body and a piston in the air spring body. The piston divides the air spring body into a first chamber and a second chamber. The air spring also includes a shaft extending into the air spring body. The shaft extends through the piston. The piston is slidable along the shaft. The air spring further includes a spring to bias the piston in a first direction relative to the shaft.

Abstract: An air bleed system for a suspension fork or shock absorber includes: a fluid passage between an interior of the suspension and an exterior of the suspension; and an automatic air bleed assembly having a material with oleophobic and hydrophobic properties to allow the fluid passage to remain open while limiting the introduction of external fluid into the interior of the suspension and limiting the escape of internal fluid out of the interior of the suspension.
