Abstract
A lower fork alignment system for a vehicle is described. The lower fork alignment system includes: a brace detachably coupling a first lower tube and a second lower tube of a lower fork, wherein the first and second lower tubes include: first and second receiving adjustment mechanism configured for receiving corresponding interfacing mechanisms of the brace, wherein upon receipt of alignment features of the interfacing mechanisms, one of the first lower tube and the second lower tube is enabled to be adjusted in a horizontal direction along a horizontal axis, and the other of the first lower tube and the second lower tube is enabled to be adjusted in a vertical direction along a vertical axis.
Claims3
A brace for coupling a first lower tube to a second lower tube of a lower fork, said brace comprising:
- a first end;
- a second end;
- a first interfacing mechanism disposed at said first end, wherein said first interfacing mechanism is configured for interfacing with a corresponding first receiving adjustment mechanism of a first lower tube of a lower fork and comprises:
- at least one raised shape configured interfacing with said first receiving adjustment mechanism of said first lower tube, wherein upon said interfacing, said first lower tube may be slid in a horizontal direction along a horizontal axis;
- and
- a second interfacing mechanism disposed at said second end, wherein said second interfacing mechanism is configured for interfacing with a corresponding second receiving adjustment mechanism of a second lower tube of a lower fork and comprises:
- at least one raised shape configured for interfacing with said second receiving adjustment mechanism of said second lower tube, wherein upon said interfacing, said second lower tube may be slid in a vertical direction along a vertical axis.
