I decided to create East post to answer to the comment that a colleague of pedal of lands of Vera Cruz (firefox).

Initially, when I looked at the lefty, this one brought me a fragile aspect not only due to his appearance, with only an arm, just as the way as the socket suspension / cube is done, as it is obvious it is done by only one of the sides of this (the pressure suspensao/cubo is done with a screw allen 5mm). Taking into account what the lefty has 140mm of course and equips in a bicycle of all mountain, with 140mm rear course, I stayed a little in the doubt relatively his strength.

The stated initial fragility disappears when we begin to do the first descent, the suspension is held exemplarily, absorbs all the irregularidades with great gentleness and sensibility. It is a suspension that transmits confidence to be gone down. Till the moment I still did not notice lack of rigidity in the suspension, but also still only I have 500km when they were done with her. Até ao momento ainda não notei falta de rigidez na suspensão, mas também ainda só tenho 500km feitos com ela.

Responding in concrete to the question of a "firefox":

Comparing the lefty with a normal suspension, the lefty and an unbalanced suspension. Whereas a cyclist with a normal suspension manages to walk easily “without hands”, with a lefty this task becomes a more complicated task, due to distribution of the weight, the bicycle faces the left. In a normal position on top of the bicycle (with the hands in the guide), the lefty resembles a normal suspension, where the imbalance becomes not much well-known. Numa posição normal em cima da bicicleta (com as mãos no guiador), a lefty assemelha-se a uma suspensão normal, onde o desequilíbrio se torna pouco notório.

And to leave a little while to you with water in the mouth, I am preparing an analysis to the prophet to publish here in the blog.

    I am in the espectativa on this analysis, since I am one of the fan's of the Cannondale and of his technology.
    Besides having been an owner of a Cannondale, but in the hope of returning, since it left someone longings.
