Wannabe Posted June 23, 2014 Share Slight Hijack.Saw this Saturday at Meerendal. Had a chat to the owner, says it works a treat. No working parts, "suspension" part is performed by the horizontal bits that is made from some sort of plastic / polymer. Got a guarantee of 5 yrs, no maintenance needed. Fitted to a Cannondale, he replaced the Lefty with this.   Capricorn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTB back in the early days, #ENDURO today and then odd bits in between this period. Rushdee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brett Posted June 23, 2014 Share Considering what you jumped, and how thin the layering of the fork was, I'd say you came off lightly. Was good to meet you okes Sunday.Some crazy jumps up there. sakkiebomskok 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
