    No not the present opposition. The Cannondale variety.

    Having never ventured into the world of the Lefty I find myself kitted out with an XC race machine complete with a Lefty.

    So just how capable are they? Will I die in the Peaks riding a Lefty. The lack of another leg makes me nervous although I’m sure some very clever boffins have done all the sums correctly I’m still kind of on edge riding about with what seems like half my fork missing.

    Any reassuring tales to put me at ease?

    I’m no free riding hucker BTW, just general au natural trasil riding, I’ll be fine, right?

    Just ridden my trigger carbon 2 with lefty super max for the first time yesterday, and I have to say I was impressed with it! After 5 mins you don’t know your missing a leg.

    They’re spotty dog IMHO.. Love mine, it’ll handle everything you can throw at it, and a whole lot more.

    Friend had no end of bother with the one on his Jekyll. Ended up getting a full refund as they couldn’t sort it. He liked it to start with though.

    You can get a lefty4all adapter for 1/8 & tapered headset not the cheapest though

    Only time I rode a lefty I broke my neck… Not sure if that’s any sort of guide.

    Your cranks / pesals have only one leg and you are happy to put all your weight through them.
