If you are thinking of making your own/getting your own adaptor manufactured then it would probably not be that cheap as it would be a one off item = more expensive.heatstroke said:How much does it cost to manufacture an adaptor here in the US ?
I used the lefty once and really liked it and am now thinking about one for my motolite.
I see one on ebay :

Why would you sell your lefty? Are you going to replace it with a newer model?kevhogaz said:Did you make that? That's sweet! When I put my Lefty up for sale, I'm gonna include a link to this page, if you don't mind.
You're right, I got confused as to what I was looking at. Thomson doesn't make anything that will allow a LEfty on a 1 1/8 head tube.pumpkinbiter said:Also, I talked to the Thompson people at innerbike.
What they showed me was an adaptor that allows the use of a 1.125 stem on
a lefty fork on a cannondale frame. NOT an adapter to allow use of a lefty
on a 1.125 head tube frame.
I'm not real happy with my Lefty. I don't think it was designed, with a 210 lb rider, in mind. The adjustability isn't there, and can't find a happy medium to ride with. I put in heavier springs, and now it's to stiff, and has no low speed compliance. When I go back to the lighter spring, it's real nice at low speeds, but suck's when I start going a little faster, or God forbid, leave the ground.pumpkinbiter said:Why would you sell your lefty?

Have you felt the new spv as pictured? It's awsome! And it acutally feels better
with a short stem and some real handlebars, unlike you see on most cannondales
with lefty's on them.
Damn, that's sad to hear. I run between 205 and 240 and I love mine.kevhogaz said:I'm not real happy with my Lefty. I don't think it was designed, with a 210 lb rider, in mind.

I think I have exactly 2 left. I am planning on making moretotally_fixxated said:Jake,
Do you still have two more clamp sets left?
Yes, a 1.125 carbon lefty adaptor is in the works. The project is very simple untilDirtDad said:Have you thought about making one for a Carbon Lefty? Carbon leftys have the crowns bonded to the fork leg, you cant remove them or slide them up or down. The 1 1/8" adapter would have to have the right diameter for the steerer clamps, then step down to 1 1/8 everywhere else. Hope that makes sense. You would be quite limited as to what stack heights you could use, but holding a lefty up to my frame, I can tell it would work?
I get your e-mails, I will respond via e-mail.DirtDad said:I can never tell if my emails go out or not on this site. Put me down on the interest list an PM or email me if you don't get my email.
