Alright...

I have a cannondale and the lefty front has been a pita. It is not the fork per say but the wheelset and somewhat the design. The wheels are the mavic 117's disc model. They are light but weak... did I say week. I bent the first wheel on a downhill some 3 weeks after getting the bike. Trued but is still not the same, has a slight bend in the back that can not be repaired.

Today I was going about 7 MPH down this little hill, hit the bottom and somehow ended up off the bike. I think I hit a rock or something and flew over the handle bars. Well the rim did not survive. It bent like a taco, I mean not reparable, way not reparable rim. It bent so bad that the wheel way actually rubbing on the side of the single fork. The fork and hub was not damaged.

I went to my LBS and got an estimate to re build the wheels with rinolite extra wide rims and the cost is approximatly 300 dollars. The problem is I do not know if this will happen again. I am 6'6" 230, not exactly heavy but large. I can really sprint, lots of power.

Has anyone has these types of problems with the lefty fork. I am very much considering a more traditional fork after having this many problems...
