A gap is defined between an inner periphery of the outlet and the lower end of the adjustment rod so that a size of the gap can be adjustable by moving the adjustment rod relative to the inner periphery of the outlet to adjust volume of hydraulic oil entering the damper member.

Abstract: A hydraulic front fork includes a fixed locking mechanism mounted in the upper fork tube, and a first adjustment mechanism mounted in the top end of the upper fork tube adjustable to control the flowing path of the hydraulic fluid through the locking mechanism such that the bicycle is suitable for running on slopes and smooth road surfaces efficiently when the hydraulic fluid is locked out and prohibited from passing through the locking mechanism, and the hydraulic front fork can absorb shocks when the hydraulic fluid is allowed to pass through the locking mechanism.

Abstract: A crown portion for bicycles includes a first tube through which the steerer tube of a front fork extends, and two arms which are connected to the first tube and two second tubes are respectively connected to two distal ends of the two arms so that two leg portions of the front fork extend through the second tubes. Two passages are defined through each of the two arms and a separation ridge is located between the two passages to maintain the structural strength of the arms. The two passages communicate with the first tube so as to define two openings in an inner periphery of the first tube, and communicating with the second tubes so as to define two openings in an inner periphery of the second tubes at the conjunction of the second tubes and the arms.
