Abstract:
1. A fork leg comprising: (a) a pressurized gas chamber adjacent to a piston assembly which is adjacent to a compression rod assembly including a movable compression rod; (b) the compression rod assembly further includes a top out spring adjacent a lower end of the compression rod assembly, which top out spring in turn is connected to a top out spacer, the top out spring facilitates movement of the compression rod, the compression rod includes a head adjacent to and coming in contact with piston of the piston assembly; and (c) a compliant member is adjacent the piston and adjacent to the head of the movable compression rod, and when a force causes the compression rod to come in contact with the compliant member, the compliant member deforms reducing high frequency low amplitude vibration without translation of the piston.
