I have a 2009 Kona caldera & was wondering if it's possible to fit a lefty fork on my bike? Or do I get a cannondale? Thanks for any info & happy riding :D

    Doable but depends on what exactly you have and the amount of effort you are willing to put in.

    you will need a 1 1/8 crown assembly.

    If it's doable then I'm up for the amount of effort. Wasn't sure if I could fit one onto a Kona. Just need some tips/pointers as to how to go about it & what I would need. Has anyone done it or know someone who has?

    Lots of money.

    Unless you fall lucky on one already with the crown assy. IIRC £200 just for that ontop of the fork.

    You'd need as nick says ie the lefty that has a 1 1/8th steerer. Then a wheel to fit the axle.

    Not worth it in my opinion, very expensive.
