1. A component for a bicycle, the component comprising:
a first tube and a second tube configured in a telescopic arrangement having an interior space;
a pneumatic chamber containing a mass of a gas configured to resist compression of the telescopic arrangement; and
an analysis device including:
a housing at least partially disposed in the interior space;
a pressure sensor disposed in the interior space to detect a pressure of the gas in the pneumatic chamber and provide a signal indicative of the detected pressure;
circuitry configured to receive the signal, and
a wireless communicator in communication with the circuitry and disposed in the housing, the wireless communicator to transmit a wireless signal representative of the detected pressure.
