Unless you don’t have a garage (and the car spends most of its time in the sun), this physical chemist sees no issue with ignoring the so called expiration date (which has zero testing behind it). https://www.mother.ly/parenting/safe...really-expire/ seems to agree, based on my quick read of it.
When our kids were little, correct, no garage, and lots of time in the sun. And we always wondered if it was just to sell more seats.Quote:

It's a simple joke, jeez, we both know you are not an idiot. You are no fun. This board is suppose to be fun, btw.Quote:

At the bike shop I worked at during university we had a customer who was a mechanical engineering student come in and draw a free body diagram trying to explain that the lefty would cause a torque imbalance making the bike unrideable.Quote:

Engineers are the worst.
Maybe unridable with no hands ? cuz I did crash the prophet riding home from the craft brew no-handsQuote:

He thought that if you went off a drop the whole front end was going to wrench out from underneath you.Quote:

the year I rode it at interbike the lefty was great it worked well, I also rode the first Reign and whatever that fork was it sucked after rounds of press gatehrings, not working well leaking all over the front end,
Some people just could not get over the missing fork leg, i've seen guys just freak out, I would point out to people whatever you drove here in has a macpherson strut front suspension which is pretty much what a lefty is
Leftys do look weird as hell, it would take me a good long while to get used to riding one. My lizard brain has preconceived notions about what bike forks should look like
I’ve got two seasons on my lefty Ocho and I love the thing.Quote:

well I just got on the bike and rode it with no issues but I probably lack the sensitiviy to worry
I think the Max with Manitou SPV which I had might have been the best riding most trouble free lefty
but think about it, if you spend your whole ride looking at the front wheel intstead of where you are going
it might not be the best ride ?
Yeah, I would be so focused on trying to figure out if it felt weird that the actual riding would take a back seat. Given that the last time I bought a mountain bike was 25 years ago, I'm sure Cannondale isn't losing any sleep over potentially losing a sale to meQuote:
