Abstract
A mounting assembly for adjustably securing an axle and a brake carrier to a front monofork of a motorcycle. The axle is received within an eccentric axle carrier and extends through a lower end of the brake carrier. An opposite end of the brake carrier includes an opening through which a carrier mounting device extends. The carrier mounting device is secured to the monofork and guides or aligns the brake carrier relative to the monofork. When the axle carrier is rotated to adjust the attitude of the motorcycle front end, the mounting device moves relative to the brake carrier while the brake carrier is maintained in a relatively fixed relationship to the wheel.
