its a pointless thing to make.. riding a mountain bike without a fork is like riding a bmx with shocks. its just lame and i knew all you tools would hate on me for saying it but i dont care because its true. Ride a bmx and then a mtb with a rigid and yu will be ashamed of yourself for being so dumb as to have owned a mountain bike with rigids.

i disagree. i dont ride rigid. but there is a big difference of sizin between bmx and mtb oviously. and i know that i for one, can not ride a bmx. it just feels way to small and crammed. plus, this is just my opinion, but tricks on a bmx dont look as sweet cuz the person is so big next to the bike, and if i see a tail whip on a bmx, i always think, " its much easier on a bmx" i cant help that. but ppl like being able to learn tricks easily on bmx, and thats why ppl ride them.

i like my pedals, i will stand by them thank you very much Razz
but i think where we draw the line of no return is twenty6 or straitline's, way to good, then were we feel sorry for riders is when they buy v8's, 5050's, or hussfelts.

You need to realize that the lefty isnt intended for that! They ride great for all mountain/xc/doing an endo inside a bikeshop purposes!

You need to realize why this argument started. The post was [Quoten]That's your opinion. I think they look kinda sick.

They are way way stiffer, I know they don't look like it. Until I rode my friend's Rush through a rock garden I thought they were noodly lumps of shit.

While they are just a Cannondale gimmick, they don't work badly. Therefore, not a fail.[/Quoten]

Sure you can say its stiff for all mountain and xc. But come on, how stiff does a fork really have to be for that type of riding. I mean if you "Rush through a rock garden" it should be pretty stiff.

So I showed him a picture of a rock garden to rush through.

You do know that the Rush is a model Cannondale makes right?


Anyways, let this die already. Some people like it, some don't. Leave it at that.
