Dunno, I've thought about it but the triple (double?) clamp
needs some kind of axle/steerer tube. The only way I can
see to do it would be having someone machine you one
that would fit a 1 1/8 head tube and bearings, and then some
sort of spacers to fit the triple/double clamp.
Perhaps page terminaut on the SS page in the regular forums as I know he has a bike with a lefty. I think it looks totally cool and would love to do something similar!
You have to machine the clamps, and use a Zoke steer tube, but it works. I have seen a few like that. I think my Lefty Max would look great on a DJ hardtail.
Which Marzocchi steerer tube? And why them in particular?
What about machining a titanium steerer tube to specs?
Any idea on costs?
Where to find the specs on steerer tubes and clamps?!
THANKS
I saw an article on MountainBike Mag that had a Sugar with a lot of innovative products on it, they called it "the parts magnet".
One of those products was a lefty fork look alike (just looked similar) with anti-dive features and their review wasn't great. If I'm not mistaken the manufacturer is USE but I don't remember the model nor the price. Take a look at www.mountainbike.com and search their products reviews to see if it's still there.
I saw in a french magazine the personal bike of Marcus Storck, an Organic Superlight with 1'1/8 Lefty carbon.
of course, it's a bike manufacturer and he has a lot of facilities do a 1'1/8 adaptator... may be if you ask him, he would make the same work for you...
