A lower tube of a lower fork, said lower tube comprising:
- a receiving adjustment mechanism disposed at a first end of said lower tube, wherein said receiving adjustment mechanism is configured for interfacing with a corresponding interface mechanism of a brace, wherein said receiving adjustment mechanism comprises:
- an alignment feature enabling at least one of a horizontal adjustment and a vertical adjustment of said lower tube, relative to another lower tube of said lower fork, along a corresponding at least one of a horizontal axis and a vertical axis, respectively.
A lower tube of a lower fork, said lower tube comprising:
- a receiving adjustment mechanism disposed at a first end of said lower tube, wherein said receiving adjustment mechanism is configured for interfacing with a corresponding interface mechanism of a brace, wherein said receiving adjustment mechanism comprises:
- an alignment feature enabling a horizontal adjustment of said lower tube relative to another lower tube of said lower fork along a horizontal axis.
A lower tube of a lower fork, said lower tube comprising:
- a receiving adjustment mechanism disposed at a first end of said lower tube, wherein said receiving adjustment mechanism is configured for interfacing with a corresponding interface mechanism of a brace, wherein said receiving adjustment mechanism comprises:
- an alignment feature alignment feature enabling a vertical adjustment of said lower tube relative to another lower tube of said lower fork along a vertical axis.
