1st time on a Lefty , surprised ?

ELO and Spinergy Xyclones, that was the deal back in the day!

 i just couldn’t get on with a bike i couldn’t do no handies with, sounds weird, but on long rides it’s nice to just stretch whilst on boring flat bits, the lefty was just not designed to be well balanced in that way.

This is simply not true. It’s no harder to ride no handed with a lefty than with a conventional fork. It might look like you can’t, but unless something is bent or broken there’s no problem at all.

Haha! Yeah, even with a Lefty, it’s still a bicycle with one wheel directly in front of the other. Can’t do no hands! LoLZ

Hmm. Not sure on the no hands. My Topstone with a gravel lefty definitely has a left bias no hands.

i can see that a heavier wheel and wider bars would give it a bit more stability.

It’s only 30mm on the Topstone but it’s bloody ace.

Cables all enter frame on left hand side, nothing pulling on the right to balance it. That will have way more effect than the fork.

I’ve had four over 24 years- the original 100mm Lefty, then a Speed 110, a Max 140, and I’ve still got a Supermax 160. Really like them, apart from fitting mudguards!
