Hey, any of you shop guys have the bolt and washer kit for a Cannondale lefty hub floating around?? Apparently we aren't a C-Dale dealer anymore and can't order them.

Look down the center of that thing. Is it threaded internally with a Schrader valveish pin deep in there? Some Marzocchi's took a specialized adapter to air it up.

If it's anything like my Zocchi, it might look/should look like this.

It's a bastard to fit the air adapter to and it's so far down, you need a long valve core extractor to remove the valve itself..

I don't want to split the set, even if it is only parts bin. I did a quick Google search and found a couple places on line that will sell you one for around 20 bucks.

Just gonna run this by you guys before I order spokes. I'm rebuilding my current wheels with Spank Spike 33's and can only order spokes in even sizes, spoke calculations are 267, 267.9, 268.2 and 266.8. Will I be fine building with 268's? Hubs are King SD 15mm front and 142 ISO rear, dt comp spokes with 14mm AL nips

If your calculations are correct, I Would think 268 would be fine

Yes. That sounds like a great wheelset. Grease the interface of the nipples and rim bed.
