i just realised, if i know what your talking about, mountain bike forks are upside down compared to our buggy shocks.
so anyone want to explain the whole meat business?  |
original the stanchions were in the tree's, as it was easier to make fork tree's to carry the stanchions. Then someone realised, that if they turned the forks the other way up, the front end remained more rigid, and called them upside-down forks, it gave the front end tighter handling due to less flex.
