Does anyone know why they call them triple clamps?
I would think a triple clamp refers to those bottom yokes with deep clamping areas and 3 bolts used for fork leg clamping. |

triple trees, rather than clamps was quite a common expression in the us
the germans call them gabelbruck which literally translates as forkbridge |
