What are the requirements of fitting a lefty onto a non cannondale bike?
I quite fancy putting one on my spark.
Is that wrong?

original ones use a 1.5 steerer i think, you would need a different steerer machining for it to fit a regular 11/8th head tubes.
there is however a newer version of the lefty which can be fitted to rugular sized headtubes which mkes it more accesible.
you would need a specific wheel too but its far from impossible but pricey as hell.0 -
there are 1 1/8 steerer kits out there about 100 quid though."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

though you must ask why? you can get better forks that weight less or are stronger , less maintenance fiddly , work better for a lot less money . lefty forks are nothing but pain in the arse. If it goes wrong expect a big bill from crackandfail.0
