Fork crown: the point at which the two blades of the fork meet below the steerer tube. Fork end: paired slots on a fork or frame at which the axle of the wheel is attached. See also Dropout; Frame: the mechanical core of a bicycle, the frame provides points of attachment for the various components that make up the machine. The term is variously ...
Horizontal rearward-facing track fork end (not a dropout) A fork end, [1] fork-end, [1] or forkend [2] is a slot in a bicycle frame or bicycle fork where the axle of a bicycle wheel is attached.
