Sue me! I was too busy trying to break the lefty.
It's a really interesting bike. Not sure it's intended for anything more than 48mm, cos then you could just ride anything rigid with a larger tyre at lower PSI, chain-stay accommodating of course. Either they didn't bother adapting the frame, but I think the whole point is to sell the idea of the lefty.

I reckon you're right on the Lefty, it's fucking amazing, I mean with suspension fork, you wanna lock it out on the road, but on that particular bike, I was happy to leave it unlocked and not feel like it's sapping me of energy.
Having said that, I'm more inclined to convert my carbon disc bike into a 650b because of the Slate rather than buying one, most especially after checking the chainstay clearance;

Yeah you done fucked up good.
I let off a lots of pressure after a few minutes riding on the road! bit annoying that the rear clearance is tiny (someone is riding a Slate with the 48mm Switchback HIll and just about clear it).
