It's good to see someone finally get it. I guess I'm overly picky about terminology but I hate when a dual crown fork is refered to a triple. The alternate term for a crown is a "triple clamp" one clamp for the steerer and one for each leg (yeah it's press fit). Put one above and below the head tube and you have a double "triple clamp". So...a lefty is still a dual crown fork but a double "double clamp" fork.

Confused yet...

I get it...

But what about waterbottles in Uganda with burly holes that don't water the grass??

 

[BurlyShirley]

I dont think Ive ever heard it called a double-triple "crown" by any credible source...just people who dont know what theyre talking about.
Now, double-triple clamp, that makes sense. ie..for something like a Stratos S7 or a Monster T or something.
...who cares?

But.....there's only one side....so is it still a fork?

Good point, would it be a spear?
