stanchion tube

This in turn allows for greater overlap of the sliders over the stanchion tubes, which improves stiffness and helps to reduce flex.

The slider bodies are at the top, fixed in the triple clamps, and the stanchion tubes are at the bottom, fixed to the axle.

All Quake forks come with an oversized ultrastiff one piece magnesium slider, and teflon-coated, very hard anodized stanchion tubes, for extreme longevity.
