Cannondale lefty?

[Johny Bravo]

So I never liked Canondale lefty forks. They always felt flimsy and wrong to me. The Canondale boys are struggling in the rock gardens on the UCI world champs. Just watching the race live, I know the lefty riders will argue, but most definitely something is not 100 percent with those forks.

I dont think you can blame the Lefty for the riders struggling in the Rock Gardens, I own one and they are AWESOME.

[Johny Bravo]

I dunno, most of the lefty boys are struggling, not just on the rock gardens. World class riders. Again, I know the lefty boys will argue, but something is fishy for sure.

Lefty earned silver.

Dont think this is fair comment. Some like the look, some dont. I have had the pleasure of riding a lefty. Amazing fork. Love it. Second today..... Cant be too ***.

IN YOUR OPINION

[kosmonooit]

Your informed opinion .. based on what? the way it looks?

 

 

 

What happened to Marco's saddle is the more pertinent question.

That was his seatpost - but either way, its been some bad luck for Marco recently, he was running 4th at the time I think Did he have an off?

I am asking the experts. It climbs well for sure, because of the weight it makes up time, but to me they were struggling on the rough stuff. Just my uneducated opinion, I felt the same when I rode my friends Dale lefty, although he wont ave any other bike. Personal preference for sure, however I just saw a lot of lefty riders eat rocks today when it got rough. Shoot me.

I love my left,y the way it climbs and its overall ride... but thats just me.

naah, you can't judge it from a ride or two.

leftys are amazing, even more so when pushed hard. I rember back in the day when Cedric Gracia used them in downhill races. he embarrassed a lit of riders on downhill bikes.

trust me, it is not the fork that was making these guus struggle in the rock gardens.

I consider the lefty to be an awesome fork. Some like it some dont. Ride one, you may be surprised.

Its funny, I have ridden most of the other mainstream forks and the Lefty is head and shoulders above the rest of them. Do not be put off by the looks.

BTW one certain Mr Christoph Sauser was cleaning up on the world cup circuit on one before he moved to Spez.
