Hey all, I'm wondering if anybody knows the actual size of the SuperV 1000 FreeRide's headtube.. currently I'm running a Manitou Super Six 100mm travel fork (I think it's an '03?) which is a 1 1/8" steerer tube. I'd really really like to upgrade to a Lefty Max with 140mm travel, problem is that they run a 1.5" steerer.
I can't tell if the SuperV1000FR originally has a 1.5" headtube and that my headset is actually just an adapter to 1 1/8" but I would be incredibly happy if that's the case. I guess I could try and take it apart for measurements, but I figured I'd post here first in case anyone knows the actual size of that headtube! Thanks in advance guys

Hop on the Cannondale website and submit an email to them. They are really good at getting back to you and helping out.

I had a customer that needed something for his Jekyll and they emailed me back within half a day

UPDATE: after some thorough research into the matter, I have found that the Super V 1000 FR has a Cannondale 1.5" Headshok Tube. In order to properly convert to a lefty, you need to get a QHDST/EBO headset which is made specifically for the headshok tube to lefty conversion. Figured I'd post this for anyone in the future having a similar problem. Hope this helps someone (yeah right I'm riding an antique!)

Here's a website I found with some good info on Cannondale headtubes.
