Abstract:
1. An anti-bob system operable to control a shock damping device of a cycle, said system including: a crank axle torque detector operable to detect a level of torque applied to a crank axle, and to provide a control signal corresponding to said level of torque, said control signal being a mechanical signal comprising the displacement of a control cable; and a shock damping device coupled to a frame of said cycle, said shock damping device functioning to absorb and dampen mechanical shocks communicated to said frame, said shock damping device including an activator for controlling the damping function thereof, said activator being operable to receive the control signal from said crank axle torque detector and to control the shock damping device in response thereto; whereby said shock damping device is controlled in response to the level of torque applied to said crank axle.
