when is a fork not a fork?

>>957856
That's an older cannondale hype thing

Circa 06?? That shit was the bike to have

>>957862
It's still on all their high end bikes. Check the website.

>>957873
I'm aware, I saw a 29er lefty in store the other day

Difference is they're not "cool" anymore

>>957910
Did they ever make sense? They look horrendous. I'd understand it for XC races where a lefty would save a lot of weight

How come lefty fork make sense on mountain bikes but not on road bikes?

>a lefty would save a lot of weight
As far as I can remember they're a bit heavier than the lightest offerings from RS/Fox/DT Swiss but are stiffer torsionally.

I never really understood why people freak out abut them. I think they look cool.

They're just so counter-intuitive. You look at it and can't really fathom how that could be a good idea. Of course technically speaking it works great, but it just looks... off.

Probably because they don't with rim brakes. C-dale makes a lefty road bike now.

>>957856
That bike is a 2014...

>>958211
A gravel bike with slicks. Makes no sense to me.

>>957915
Same stiffness/ride quality at lighter weight, and easier to fix flats
>>957917
Road fork blades are much thinner
>>957947
>can't really fathom how that could be a good idea
Easier to fix flats
>>958211
Is that suspension or what? It looks weird.

>>958213
Jan Heine (second in the Pantheon) mentioned doing a long radonneur gravel ride with his compass fatties which IIRC are slick.

It depends on the gravel I guess but doesn't tyre width/volume matter more than tread?

30mm travel lefty fork.

Try riding on road with skinny knobbies then faggot
>>958259
Alright. Kinda what it looked like, I just didn't know they even made suspension forks (lefty or normal) with that little travel.

>>958212
Still better than my 2010 transition blindside or my 06 Santa Cruz bullit

>>958258
It's absolutely doable, no problem. But i always feel the lack of traction when i end up on gravel on my 40 mm street treads.

>>958260
Don't be a dick. He was clearly speaking about gravel riding.

Tfw cute girl on my fly bys in strava

sold A LOT of bikes, saved cannondale from fringe of bankruotcy in an era where kona was dominating the market

i never bought into it but i saw everyone in my upper middleclass suburb ride them when i lived with my parents

>>958265
>knobbies
>gravel

>>958596
Yes. Is something the matter?

>>957854
>tfw no Crapandfail riding gf

>>957910
They're actually really good forks. Try riding one before hating

>>959515

>Talking trash about Cannondale

for what purpose?

>>959667

Sieg doesn't know the first thing about bicycles. He's just a shitposter. Ignore him.

>>957854
how do you know my gf doesn't browse /n/?

>being this cvck

>>960162
Because there are literally no girls on 4chan.
>except ones who used to be boys
>also camwhore fatties

>>960199
What do you even think you mean by this?

>>958661
Yes. You should not be using knobbies on gravel. You should be using semislicks.
