nickc Posted September 18, 2017 Share Is it THAT expensive to service a Lefty? And I am thinking of getting one. Not anymore.No it is not - depends who you take it to. My buddies Spez brain costs way more than my Lefty to Service and does not feel half as good. Mongoose! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruru Posted September 18, 2017 Share What sort of lefty is it? The one with the boot? It cost me R1200 to service a 2010 lefty though agents. Serviced the fork and replced the boot - you will battle to find bearingsfor the older models. About 3 months ago. I was also informed that Cdale will not be supporting any of the older forks anymore - I think they said anything older than 2014. No more parts for those leftys. If the lockout doesn't work and the shock is leaking oil, it sounds like the bike has been neglected. I would say R20k is too much. Is it a carbon frame 29er?

If the lockout doesn't work that's a big call, local or global decision? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltageza Posted September 18, 2017 Share I think its a 2014. How can i determine for sure? Carbon shock OPI. With the boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruru Posted September 18, 2017 Share that's a big call, local or global decision?Info I got from Omnico when I phoned them to ask about parts. Also confirmed by Mendon Cycle Smith in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruru Posted September 18, 2017 Share I think its a 2014. How can i determine for sure? Carbon shock OPI. With the boot.I google mine to check the specs, eg. Cannondale Scalpel 2010 specs and checked the info on bike list. I just checked for the flash and it looks like the 2013 models already came out with the hybrid forks (without the boot) so it's probably an older model or a replacement fork.
