That’s my slate which is a bit unusual.

I’ve converted it to flat bar at the Moment for commuting but it’s also odd in that it’s the higher level 1x sram spec with the purple cannondale cranks but with a rigid lefty instead of the suspension one. Never seen another one with this spec.

Personally I think this lefty feels odd to ride, like it turns well going left but is rubbish going right. Might be the tyre though.

I do like the ability to change tubes without having to remove the wheel, you really want a swing arm on the back matching it 🙂

Bicyclists seem to be very conservative which seems to stifle anything not similar to what is already around.

Is that actually at all useful though? I've done it once and tbh it was a gigantic faff, with the extra bulk of the bike still attached. Considering all the seconds it takes to remove a wheel and do it normally...

On a related note - where can I get Lefty's serviced in the UK? I've got a Lefty Max and Lefty DLR ti to sort out at some point.
