Banshee Rider said:Man, i thought this site was full of knowledgable advice from people with first hand experience? Half the sh*t im reading in this thread is regurgitated trash. How many of you have ridden the new leftys to base an opinion on? "i'd take the fox over the lefty, much more reliable!!!" Give me a break. You've got a tried and tested design, its stiffer than any SC on the market, its lighter than most as well, and uses internals/technology from a suspension company 1/2 of you ride. What more do you want? The "propietary" talk is crap, i'll throw shimano into the equation and then we can start arguing the point.
First of all, this sit IS full of knowledgable people advice. And second of all it is hurting cannondale sales, bottom line. There are a lot of people who dont like it for one reason or another. The fox 36 is a serious fork, and perfect for that bike. I personally would ride it years ahead of that lefty. And yes i have put time in on both. Props to cannondale for swallowing their pride and going with "conventional" forks.
