Abstract
A bicycle in one embodiment includes a frame and at least one adjusting device for adjusting at least one of a height of a saddle and a steering stem. The adjusting device includes a double-acting piston/cylinder assembly with a first cylinder chamber and a second cylinder chamber, which are separated from each other by a piston. An area of the piston limiting the first cylinder chamber being larger than the area of the piston limiting the second cylinder chamber. A locking device is proved for locking the piston.
Claims9
A bicycle comprising:
- a frame;
- an adjusting device adjusting a height of a front wheel suspension;
- wherein said adjusting device comprises a double-acting piston/cylinder assembly with a first cylinder chamber and a second cylinder chamber separated by a piston that is connected to a piston rod, said two cylinder chambers being filled with compressible gas, and said two cylinder chambers being connectable with one another via a fluid channel, and said piston rod mounted on a steering stem;
- a shut-off device positioned in said fluid channel;
- and
- wherein said shut-off device is actuatable via an actuator that is spaced apart from said shut-off device.
A bicycle comprising:
- a frame;
- an adjusting device adjusting a height of a front wheel suspension, wherein said adjusting device comprises a double-acting piston/cylinder assembly with a first cylinder chamber and a second cylinder chamber separated by a piston that is connected to a piston rod, said two cylinder chambers being filled with compressible gas, and said two cylinder chambers being connectable with one another via a fluid channel, and said piston rod mounted on a telescopic front fork assembly;
- a shut-oft device positioned in said fluid channel, and
- wherein said shut-off device is actuatable via an actuator that is spaced apart from said shutoff device.
A bicycle having a suspension unit with an adjusting device adjusting the height of the front wheel, comprising a double acting piston cylinder assembly having a first and a second chamber filled with compressible gas and separated by a piston, and being connectable via a fluid channel to adjust the height, where a shut-off device is located in the fluid channel that is actuatable via an actuator that is spaced apart from said shut-off device.
