Lefty shock service
Its a cliche, yes but I'm too petrified of disassembling my lefty shock to send it into dirtworks or cannondale
Anyone know of a LBS that specialises in dale's?

Electronic Suspension
Just found this:

Pretty cool but could do with the following enhancements:
1. The same joystick needs to alter settings for both front and rear shock to the conditions chosen.
2. It needs linking to a GPS and to remember when you change settings on the first lap of a circuit. Then automatically change for you for the rest of the day.
Rush Bling & Lefty Removal
Over the last couple days have been upgrading a few parts on the Rush as it's hand-me-downs are going to a new build that's in the making.
The Rush got some Juicy Ultimate brakes (on special - couldn't resist), an XT crankset, Selle Italia SLR XC saddle and some Eggbeater SL pedals. As I say, the parts that came off are going on another build so easy to justify!
Lefty Service
As is my way of recording small maintenance jobs...
The Rush's Lefty got a service this week and it got two new bearings in the headset.
The bearings gone at only 13 months old are a bit of a disappointment, but then again the summer's rain will not have helped.
Lefty was due for a service anyhow, but the damping wasn't feeling quiet right last few rides and I noticed some oil on the air valve. Turns out a seal inside had leaked allowing damping oil to get into the bottom air chamber, no wonder the feeling was off! One seal in a year's riding isn't such a bad outcome.
