![]() ![]() I have seen some problematic Fatty forks in the past, but I have also seen A LOT of people happily using Fatty and Lefty (which uses the same principle) without issue. ![]() If something goes wrong it's usually the needle bearings themselves, which develop progressive "play", thus needing service/replacement, which in turn can become "complicated" since only Cannondale can service them or provide replacement parts, as far as I know. When new, this system has virtually no static friction, so it will be VERY responsive to minor and/or high-frequency road irregularities, such as cobblestones, rough gravel, and rooty trail sections. Each of the needle bearing strips are sandwiched between an inner race of variable thickness and an outer race. Each strip contains 22 bearings for a total of 88. The main difference is that, instead of using telescopic stanchions, it has a squared tube with needle bearings. Vintage Cannondale Head Shok Information HEADSHOKHISTORY & FEATURES The Headshok suspension fork was first introduced in 1992. Usually, you can install adapters to the frame, so that you can use a normal suspension fork. You have invested in a suspension system that is light weight and offers. It uses a wider head tube, because the shock is placed in the steering tube of the fork. Congratulations and thanks for your purchase of the HeadShok Lefty suspension system. I only know this system from older times, perhaps current (2013) systems have different qualities.
