    Looking to buy myself a pair of these great wheels but some for sale have the word ‘lefty’ in the description, what does that mean.
    Any other advice comments about these wheels (and if you have some for sale) are welcome, thanks.

    They are for left handed riders only. They have slightly more weight on the right hand side of the wheel to balance out cornering etc.

    The front wheel fits a cannondale lefty fork, the hub only works with that fork.

    The front hub is for a cannondale lefty fork, it won’t fit anything else iirc

    After having a few sets of SL’s and SLR’s I personally wouldn’t bother with another set.

    They are Ok but I expect more for the money. you can find lighter, stronger and more maintenance friendly wheels for less cash.
