Cannondale lefty things to look out for??

[trxrincon]

Thank you for the replies, if it's the case water had got in, is that game over without spending big money on servicing? I'm going to call a few service places this morning.

Bullpup, it was taken off eBay Monday night then listed with the new buyer on Tuesday on gumtree, apparently he also won a kona coiler and doesn't need both bikes so the dale is going.

Fair enough. My comments were there to ensure you knew the problems.

 

[trxrincon]

Yeah, thank you for that, I'm still in two minds on what to do he wants £200 for the bike and if the fork can't be fixed I don't want to waste the money.

I thought the sale ended early so I had assumed someone had done an off ebay deal. I do wonder if they subsequently found the repairs were a lot more than anticipated. However I would have bottomed that out before I bought it.

 

[trxrincon]

Yeah, that's what I wondered. Well I've just called tf tuned and 06 is a funny year and they can't service them due to the tooling changing and them not having the correct ones. The guy said it would cost £165 though to do a full service. Hmmm

My thoughts were along the lines that a good Rush is around £400 on ebay less forks and brake service and transport.

In the worst case change the fork.

I was going to try these guys:

Changing the fork isn't straight forward though, dale headsets are slightly different to stsndard 1.5 inch. I'm kind of off the idea to be honest.

 

[Bullpup]

I didn't know that - saved from myself. I would try a couple of specialists then try him with a hard offer.

I called them guys and they said the same as TF, both advised me to leave it alone. They were going to charge £185 and its half a day to service!
