The present invention relates to a flow adjusting device (1) for a shock absorber for a vehicle, the shock absorber comprising a cylinder (21) and a piston (22) dividing the cylinder into at least a first and a second working chamber (23,24). The flow adjusting device is adapted to control at least a first damping medium flow (F1) and a second damping medium flow (F2) adapted to flow from at least one of the working chambers and comprises at least a first valve (2), adapted to control the first flow, and a second valve (3), adapted to control the second flow. The first valve and said second valve are jointly adjusted. The present invention further relates to a shock absorber comprising such a device and a front fork comprising such a shock absorber.
A flow adjusting device (1) for a shock absorber for a vehicle, said shock absorber comprising a cylinder (21) adapted to accommodate at least a hydraulic fluid and a piston (22) dividing said cylinder into at least a first and a second working chamber (23, 24), said flow adjusting device being adapted to control at least a first damping medium flow (F1) and a second damping medium flow (F2) adapted to flow from at least one of said working chambers, wherein said flow adjusting device comprises at least a first valve (2), adapted to control said first flow, and a second valve (3), adapted to control said second flow, wherein said first valve and said second valve are jointly adjusted, and wherein said second flow is a bleed flow.
