Abstract:
A suspension for a two-wheeled vehicle includes first and second fork legs. Each fork leg includes a dropout. Each dropout has an opening therethrough. At least a portion of one of the openings is threaded. Each of the dropouts includes a split-damp pinch bearing defining the opening and operable between an open position and a locked position, and a hand operable actuator pivoted to the bearing for operation thereof. The suspension further includes a one-piece axle. The axle is disposed through the openings. The axle has a threaded first end engaged with the threaded portion. The axle has an ergonomic grip formed at a second end. The bearing tightly engages an outer surface of the axle in the locked position, thereby rotationally coupling the axle to the dropout.

Claim (Index 1):
A suspension fork for a two-wheeled vehicle, said suspension fork comprising:\n a first dropout comprising:\n a first split-clamp pinch bearing having an opening formed therethrough; \n at least a portion of an interior surface of said first split-clamp pinch bearing having threads; and \n a first clamp lever coupled to said first split-clamp pinch bearing; \n a second dropout comprising:\n a second split-clamp pinch bearing having an opening formed therethrough; and \n a second clamp lever coupled to said second split-clamp pinch bearing; \n an axle assembly configured to be disposed within said opening of said first split-clamp pinch bearing and within said opening of said second split-clamp pinch bearing, said axle assembly comprising:\n an axle body comprising:\n threads configured to be engaged with said threads of said at least a portion of said interior surface of said first split-clamp pinch bearing; and \n a grip portion; and \n \n wherein said first split-clamp pinch bearing and said second split-clamp pinch bearing are configured, when in a locked position, to clamp said axle body within said first split-clamp pinch bearing and within said second split-clamp pinch bearing, thereby preventing said axle body from un-threading from said first split-clamp pinch bearing.
