Normal fork on Cannondale frame

[Meentb]

Yes yes i know its wrong but funds for a lefty are a bit nowhere.

 

Now my question is what fork fits a scalpel 26er frame.

Tapered or straight.

 

Can get a fork at a REALLY good price

Any 26" fork will fit.... provided you get the right headset. (1 1/18" straight, 1.5" straight, or tapered)

 

The Cannondale's that come with non-lefty forks tend to have 1.5" straight steerers though.

 

EDIT: I think you might need to delete that last line in your signature

The headset can be an issue if the frame is 'lefty specific', there is a specific adapter required ......... Struggled with the same thing when I did my F29 with a rigid fork. I managed to get adapters that allowed the use of a non tapered steerer fork.

 

Not sure if they are also available for tapered forks.

I think that's for a One Point Five head tube (49mm I.D. if I remember correctly). I have a feeling the Dale head tubes have a larger I.D. than that.
