Wolweseun Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 The Cannondale would be my first choice as a 29er Most important thing is to have light wheels or any 29er feels like a dog
david16v Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 The overseas DCM sponsored riders were not riding Cannondales but their own sponsored bikes - only the local team were on Dales. So if you looked quickly it appeared they were on a normal fork but it was actually not a Cdale you were seeing. It was clearly a Cannondale Flash (Hardtail) with a normal fork.Watch it again and see.
maddox Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 I spoke to Omnico today and they said they (and bike shops) don't have stock (L) and won't have until at least April.
zuludog Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 Koukie I've ridden a 26" hard and 26" softail for many years and recently bought a 29" dual sus and can honestly say without any hesitation that for my riding style (predominantly XC, average 50km rides) the 29" DS is the best bike I've ever had the pleasure of riding. The only advice I can offer to anyone else considering a 29'er (dual and I suppose the same would apply for a HT) is to take into account that at some point you will need to buy a light wheelset to compensate for the larger size wheels. After a few rides on the standard wheels that came with the bike I decided to invest in a set of "Race" wheels and bought the Stans ZTR Race 29'er wheelset (1380 g) which is actually lighter than my Mavic Ksyrium ES road wheels (1465g), ...amazing! Anyway hope this helps.were did you buy? cost?
'Dale Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 I think with Cannondale you cant really go wrong.Plus 1! :thumbup:
kosmonooit Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 the only downside to the lefty is the travel i think they limited to 85mm travel You get a range of Lefties going up to 130mm travel. 110mm seems to be the norm.
kosmonooit Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Here's an index to all the different Lefty Headshoks, don't know if local agent offers any choices though
