  • Patent number: 8944223
    Abstract: A hydraulic brake handle assembly, wherein the response time of the hydraulic brake caliper can be much improved, and the brake action can be carried out immediately. When the brake lever is pressed, the volume of the oil pushed by the piston is doubled due to the hydraulic brake handle assembly is provided with two piston portions inserted in two oil chambers. Since the response time of the hydraulic caliper of the present invention is improved, it allows the brake pads of the hydraulic caliper to be assembled at a relatively large distance from the brake disc, so that sand won't get struck between the brake pads and the brake disc, and the brake disc remains useful when they are bent out of plain rubbing after using.

  • Patent number: 8894025
    Abstract: A multi-position adjustable height seat post comprises an inner tube, an outer tube, a locking assembly, a triggering device, a first extending element, and a second extending element disposed between the tubes. The locking assembly comprises an actuating unit, a plurality of parallel grooves located in the outer tube, a plurality of spherical detent elements located, in the grooves, and a plurality of spherical elements located in the inner tube. The triggering device connects to the actuating unit. The first extending element constantly pushes the to actuating unit moving in a first direction. The second extending element disposes between the tubes. Once the triggering device is triggered, the actuating unit moves in a second direction contrary to the first direction and makes the spherical elements to move inward laterally to let the inner tube and outer tube move relative to each other freely.

  • Publication number: 20140174246
    Abstract: A handlebar includes a main body and two grip portions. The main body includes at least one extending portion extended away from the main body, and at least one through hole opened on the extending portion. The two grip portions are formed at opposite ends of the main body. The advantage of the handlebar is to omit the stem that can lighten the weight and reduce the wind resistance to make the riders safer and comfortable riding.

  • Publication number: 20140116195
    Abstract: A bicycle stern with a shock absorber which is mounted between a handlebar and a steering tube includes a stem body, a clamping member and an elastomer. The stem body has a clamping portion formed at one end thereof, and two fork portions formed at another end of the stein body. The clamping member is connected with the clamping portion for clamping the handlebar, and the elastomer is disposed between the two fork portions. Under this arrangement, when a shock is generated from the rough road, the elastomer is compressed by the two fork portions, so that the elastomer is deformed appropriately and absorbs the shock from the road. Therefore, a rider could hold the handlebar comfortably.
