Dec 21, 2001 6:09 AM | | Generally, on company websites you will only get half the story. For fork internals, the best bet is to look in an automotive suspension book and learn about the different types of dampers that exist. It is then just a matter of seeing how these relate to a particular fork.
For the manufacturing side of things, you could look at the specification of the fork then look up how parts are made in that way. For example for the cast sliders or forged crowns, any good manufacturing book or resource will show how these parts are made and the merits of that particular manufacturing process or material.
Shocks, as with most things are just some standard pieces of engineering fixed together in a certain order.
