What makes this better than a cannondale slate?

it's not a slate....

Sure as hell isn't a slate. Slates cooler.

You don't have to remove your front brake when you have a flat

Well, you don't need to removed your front brake when you have a flat anyway.

Or your front wheel for that matter!

true, but have you ever tried changing a tube with a bike attached to your wheel?

On the Lefty? yes, it was piss easy.

Can you see anything that stopped you from removing the entire tyres off the front wheel?

Tubeless does significantly reduce the requirement to remove the tyre, also.

Not riding a bike significantly reduces chances of flat tyres tbh.

I found it really annoying handling a wheel with 9kg bike attached, but to each their own I guess..

@Dammit, still have to put one in if you flat on the road ;)

Not true! My Klein Criterium AND my Cannondale Silk Road both had flat tyres, I noticed, when hanging up the washing the other day in the room which has both of those bikes mounted on the wall.

Flat/gone down due to latex tubes.

I found it really annoying handling a wheel with 9kg bike attached.

Turn it upside down.

Genuine question, had you ridden a bike with a Lefty before?

just for the day once

my work / gravel bike:

Didn't you have a rotor stem on there? Lovely bike though

yeh I keep rotating the enve to rotor based on what I ride more

That new Fox fork really needs some work, if it's going to look like anything other than a broken mtb fork :-/

It still looks better than a Laüf.

There are creatures living at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean that look better than that.

True. The Laüf is like the blue-waffle of forks.

If only Rock Shox would come out with a RS-1 in gravel flavor.

agreed, at the same time I think suspension forks are a bit rubbish and unnecessary
