quotes Close but it was the other way round, the needle bearing structure was first for the headshock, we grew that for the dual crown and always knew it was possible as a single sided unit. ( SS didn't go over well in germany so the name "single sided" became the "lefty") there was one prototype when I got to Ct in 98' a proof of concept but it was 100% the downhill racing effort that made the long travel needle bearings structures work and thus leading to lefty protos in 00'.

quotes Thanks for all the great comments. Not often does Cdale see love on the web. These bike were a challenge to build but keeping them running was easy. Please consider there were 7 riders on the dh team and took the three mechanics 1+ hours to swap tires for the mud. Forks were a challenge and the little shock got a serious workout. Rock ran a 900lb spring talk about fade! Axle for the rear came the next rev when I built them for dee max, a 15 non and a 12mm drive side it was cool. Another thing not many people know is we made three swing arms with different lengths to change chain stay length depending on the track.
