does anyone have an older model Cannondale with Fatty fork which they could measure the hub-crown height?
cheers
Yes but no - mine is now in the parts bin.it was a fatty ultra dl on a 2002ish caad4 mtn
Fatty went flat and was always a bit carp. Did the research and I was going to replace it with a 120 Sid, which with the low stack hope conversion headset was near identical axle to crown.. but in the end I scored a left on ebay and we have been very happy
All the complexity with headset convertors and needing a new front brake (=binning the current is mount as need post mount for recent Sid and already had a large rotor) and the fact left was made for the frame won me over. Sure the SID would be fine but as you can run a lefty natively on your framset jfdi 🙂
If you snag one for a reasonable price they can be fixed up fully for £100 or so? Good luck!
Oh yes your question 🙂 From memory 495mm was the critical dimension 100mm fokrskre around 470 and 120mm around 490 allow for some headset - normal reducer or low stack hope and you get to the 495 a2c give or take a mm on the original fatty..
£70 headset fitted
£400 Sid 120
£90 new pm mount brake
Was my story..
