A method and apparatus for a vehicle suspension system gas spring. In one embodiment, a vehicle suspension system gas spring includes a compressible main gas chamber and an additional volume combinable with the main chamber to change a gas spring rate of the system. In one embodiment, a low friction piston seal is created by a flexible seal member.

Methods and apparatus for vehicle suspension having multiple gas volumes

Pressure-sensitive vales are incorporated within a dampening system to permit user-adjustable tuning of a shock absorber. In one embodiment, a pressure-sensitive valve includes an isolated gas chamber having a pressure therein that is settable by a user.

Methods and apparatus for combined variable damping and variable spring rate suspension

A vehicle suspension damper for providing a variable damping rate. The vehicle suspension damper comprises a first damping mechanism having a variable first threshold pressure, a second damping mechanism having a second threshold pressure, and a compressible chamber in communication with a damping fluid chamber, wherein the second damping mechanism is responsive to a compression of said compressible chamber.

A bicycle skewer rod and lock assembly includes a skewer rod with a cap. A security nut sub-assembly is coupled to the other end of the skewer rod. The security nut sub-assembly includes a nut securable to the skewer rod and having a plurality of peripheral keyways, and a sleeve cupped around the periphery of the nut and rotatable with respect to the nut. A key includes a plurality of inwardly depending keys each received through a sleeve sidewall keyway and into a nut peripheral keyway to turn the nut with respect to the skewer rod when the sleeve sidewall keyways are aligned with the nut peripheral keyways.
