i geuss the constant quoting of cannondale can't help me now:
"Torsional stiffness and fore-aft stiffness are what make Cannondale Lefty forks more durable than any other fork on the market and rival the best of the best in terms of impact strength."

Is that on their site now? o_O It always use to refer to the lefty as a shock, as there is no fork on it.

taken from cannondale.com:
"WHICH FORK?" "It's what a great fork should be." "When it comes to creating the perfect ravel on a mountain fork,we believe that Progress=convention disrupted."
so yeah...

anyway any other inverts to know about,
and anyone know about light weight shiver internals?

I believe the light weight Shiver internals is swapping out the stock marzocchi ones for some from Stratos. Supposedly that make it feel 10x better too. Not 100% sure on that though.

yea i remember people really liking the feel of stratos forks, my friend had a pair of mx6 i think they were called. had to have them rebuilt every 6 weeks though, and for that he had to send them back to america, which takes a while from the UK.

But those are just elastomers. Not a suspension fork, just extra cushioning on big impacts.

Not really. Thats a pretty big assertion considering you didnt back it up at all.
