Hi,
We were riding at Dalby today and saw some nice bikes around due to the World cup teams been around. I saw a lad on a bike and the front fork had only one side to it only one fork. What is this?

That is called a "Lefty" and it tends to be unique to the Cannondale brand, although some riders do fit them to other brands of bike

i had a lefty on my old cannondale and it rode just like a normal fork, looks odd but if you could ride a bike with your eyes closed, you wouldnt know the difference.0

I often ride with my eyes closed. Normally when I've done something stupid, accompanied by a girly scream.I don't do smileys.

the USE forks were awesome. The anti dive system was really good . They have a better service life than the lefty forks too.0

these have been around for years but ive always thought they have to be flexy in comparison to a standard fork0

With these lefty's - how do you know which side to put them on?0
