I have a Project321 set of adapter clamps. Gawdang things are 504 grams!!
I have a Lefty Max 140 Aluminum, reduced travel 29er use. The original Cannondale clamps and 1.5" steerer tube are 344 grams.
Seems to me there has to be a way to use the original clamps with a lighter steerer tube.
I remember Terminaut's original lefty adapter from back in the day was just a custom milled steerer tube that was pressed into the original clamps, and secured with a threaded bolt.
Is there a lighter steerer tube I can use with the original clamps in the same manner, and have it be safe? I'm thinking I need to make it a tight fit, and can drill and tap a small allen bolt in there so it can't back out. Epoxy, maybe?
Most of the steerer tubes for bonded clamp forks rely on the lower pinch bolt to secure the steerer tube. Terminaut's was a press-in snug fit.
