The ride with this fork is excellent! I mostely ride single track in a wood with lots of roots and Trees in your way. I never felt, that the fork is a its limits. The ride is much softer than with a SID. A psylo offers a softer ride, but none has the steering accuracy of the fatty!

Cornering is verry fast! But on a Yekyll your tail feels a little too plush, a little out of ballance. There are a few things to think about: The fork has roller bearings. If water or dirt get's into the fork, it's done. So look under the boot regulary, keep it clean and grease the racings regulary!

The travel is only 63 mm with the Fatty D 80 cartidge and not 80 mm as discribed by cannondale. My Dealer says that is normal, no fatty fork has 80 mm. The construction of the cartridge ist stupid, because hard drops can blow off the cartidge head. That is, because the travel of the fork ist limited by the cartridge cap and not by the limit stop under the lower collar. This means, that every time you need the whole travel until the limit, you weaken the thread of the cap. (The cap is made of plastic - a kind of nylon.) There is no 'security space' inside the cartridge.

So, no wonder, some guys blew their cartridges!! I asked Cannondale for a comment, and they wrote me an e-mail, saying that the travel of the fork is limited to 65 mm, depending on the cartridge and that limitation of travel by the cartridge cap is normal, because they use lots of different cartridges in one fork and they couldn't make the D 80 cartridge shorter. (For me it's a mistake!!!!!) Fork maintenance is complicated. You can do an oil change by yourself, but the disassembly of the roller bearings requires special skills. My dealer ordered a Cannondale-tech-video for me, that discribes the whole issue. My first do-it-yourself-maintenance-program took three hours, because I could'n get the bearings back into the fork!

Now I know the trick and I guess next time I can do it in less than one hour. Hauppauge Software Alternative To Outlook there. My opinion is that a fatty is great for a hard and soft-tail. I would not recomend it on a fully with more than 70 mm rear travel. I will ride the fork untill it's done.

Than I will change to 100 mm of travel, to get the right ballance between tail and front. Also I will look for a fork, that is easier to service (like e.g.

Submitted by jeff a Racer from virginia Date Reviewed: May 24, 2003 Strengths: Dependable, low maintenance, fairly light-weight, stiff steering. Weaknesses: Not very plush, only 80mm travel, Beats the crap out of you in the singletrack. This fork is more suited for a smooth course without a lot of rocks and roots. If you race on the east coast then switch this fork out with something better.

Get a set of problem solvers headset reducers or a CLC cannondale adaptor and get rid of this mild mannered fork for something a little smoother. Submitted by JR a Cross Country Rider from mission viejo CA Date Reviewed: June 11, 2002 Strengths: worked ok for a year. Moderately light, no complaints with weight.

Seemed to have no stiction, never needed a hit to activate. Pretty stiff all in all. Weaknesses: Service nightmare. Everything that cannondale sells generally has to go back to Pennsylvania for service, most stuff can't be done by your local shop; this means a month w/o your bike.

I have had this shock serviced 3 times for the same problem in the last 6 months, 3 of which were spent waiting for it to be returned. Oil leaked right out the bottom of the fork each time I got it back, and rebound damping went away. Bret the service guy at Cannondale is giving my guy at REI a hard time too. I had to call myself to get them to do any more to it. One year behind: - One exploded valve ->damage here and there ->warranty repair. - Compulsory oil change after every 900 miles /1500 kms (until now five times).

After that there will be slack on the beginning of the travel. - Oil change and repair CAN be done rather easily by yourself, only some special tools needed. - Thin oil must be added to the bearings every now and then for smooth action: bike upside down, open the fork boot from upper tie and dropp oil to bearings. Pump the fork few times to spread the oil and close the boot.

- Condensation water MUST BE REMOVED from inside the fork boot regularily. Rusty bearings will not work.

Submitted by Tony a Weekend Warrior from HP, NJ Date Reviewed: February 24, 2001 Strengths: -- on-the-fly adjustment/lock-out. -- responsive. -- excels in tight single-track. This fork is outstanding for x-country conditons. It can't be beat in tight, winding, technical single-track.

It's very stiff around corners and easily absorbs ruts/roots. On-the-fly adjustment/lock-out is a welcomed feature as you approach the steep inclines. Isn't meant to take more than a few rides down the super rough stuff. Say, a weekend of riding at Kilington (VT) or Snowshoe (WV). Weaknesses: -- high-maintenance. -- protective boot tears easily. This fork needs more attention than an insecure chihuahua.

I'm not going to sit here and pretend I know how to service a headshock, but a personal friend who takes care of it for me asks me to bring it in atleast once a month to have a look at it. He usually finds something. God forbid you get a hole in the protective boot and allow the outside in. If you don't mind giving it that type of attention, it's a great x-country fork.
