might just be the angle but on the pic vinny posted it looks like the tyre’s virtually touching the fork leg – are there clearance issues?

@Pedalhead – Singular Pegasus 29er with Lefty? What travel, 29″ or 26″ Lefty?

Pedalhead – how come those tyre have air in them then, normally they dont ?

Where can you get the fitting kits from?

Also, who is best for servicing for Leftys? Ive an old one from 2002, thats sat around doing nowt, and I feel a plan forming….

TFT now look after Cannondale Lefty’s

tf tuned service lefties

fitting kits? probably project 321

lol @ uplink

Bargain

I quite want to try one!

I send mine to Thumbprint Tuning. Great service and reasonable turnaround in thge past. It’s been a while since I have had any of them serviced right enough.

TFT don’t do old lefty’s, Thumbprint tuning will service a 2002 one for you.

Just a quick bit on Thumbprint, based on my one and only experience:

Sent off a Fatty Headshok fork to them a few years ago. Sent a new bearing unit as one was a bit gritty. Marked the old and new ones with marker pen.

Fork came back with the same air leak I’d sent it to be fixed, and the bearing hadn’t been changed. Basically, as though nothing at all had actually been done to the fork. Plus, they kept my new bearing.

£90 that cost me, plus P+P. I’d never send owt to them again, although plenty of others have had good experience with them. I ‘phoned them, and in fairness they did offer to have a look at it if I sent it back, but tbh I decided I couldn’t trust them. They denied all knowledge of the spare bearing, in spite of me telling the guy on the ‘phone about it. And they can’t claim it was lost in the packaging, because I taped the thing to the fork leg. Still had the sticky tape marks on it when I got it back.

Piss poor ime/o.

Well technically it’s a 26″ Lefty converted to 29er, but that’s what the Canondale 29er Lefties are anyway.

haha cheeky fecker, though sadly too true

I have a Project 321 adaptor that I no longer use, if anyone wants to fit a lefty to an 1 1/8 headset…
