Classification of bicycle connectors

The bicycle connection piece refers to the parts that connect the frame and other components, and the common classification is as follows:

Front connection piece: The front connection piece is the part that connects the handlebars to the front fork, usually located at the upper end of the handlebar, and is used to secure the front fork and handlebar assembly. The front connection plate includes two types: no shock absorber and with shock absorber. The no shock absorber connection plate is mainly used on road bicycles or racing bicycles, while the shock absorber connection plate is mostly used in mountain bicycles and other scenes that need shock absorber effect.

Seat tube connector: The seat tube connector is a component that connects the seat tube to the frame and is used to secure the seat. The common types of seat tube connector include round tube type and blade type. The round tube connector is the earlier design, and the position is fixed by clamping the seat tube. The blade connector uses a blade-like structure to provide better shock absorption and comfort.

Axle connection plate: The axle connection plate is the part that connects the frame to the axle and is used to secure the pedal and crank assembly. The axle connection plate is usually divided into external and internal two types, the external connection plate is mostly used on mountain bikes and urban bicycles, and the internal connection plate is mostly used on road bicycles or racing bicycles.

Shock-absorbing connectors: Shock-absorbing connectors are mainly used on mountain bikes and recreational bikes to help mitigate the impact of road bumps on the frame and rider. Shock-absorbing connection pieces are generally made of materials such as springs or rubber to increase the shock-absorbing effect by providing a soft connection.

It should be noted that different types of bicycle connection pieces may have differences in structure and function, and their selection should be reasonably matched according to riding needs and vehicle design. In addition, there are also some new bicycle connection technologies, such as integrated connection pieces, bolted connection pieces, etc., to provide more innovative design and function.
