Lefty boffins please


Recommended Posts

No it won’t. 
 

Lefty 2.0 uses a lefty 2.0 (60) hub. 
 

You will need a lefty 1.0 (50) hub to work on Lefty Oliver. You can use a Lefty 1.0 hub on a lefty 2.0 with a 5mm disc spacer but you can’t run it the other way.

So a Lefty 1.0 hub that was used on old Lefty 1.0 forks will work on the Oliver ?

I guess the reason for OP posting this question says it all .......................... 

You pay 3x more for a component, while you receive only 0.5x the component.

Case closed 😜

But with your 0.5 component, you also receive 500x better performance and ride quality.

But only those who know will know.  
I suspect you dont know what you think you know you know......

Can be converted to run on a newer lefty 2.0 or Ocho. Rim just needs to be re-centred and the disc rotor adapter needs to be in place
