This time it was fixed under warranty, for some odd reason. I am very lucky I didn't have a huge crash. A couple of months after this the whole lower almost dropped out of the fork, leaving my front wheel facing sideways.
The Lefty came back feeling not quite the same - and clunked when locked out.
I'd put a new fork on the Rush but it will cost my firstborn for a new hub, wheel build, headset or adaptor and the new fork so the whole bike is going and good riddance! I got an '08 Rush with the Speed 110 Lefty on the front - I got a Rush because I liked the low maintenance, single pivot design - but the front end turned out to be high maintenance! Just outside of the 12 month warranty the lockout stopped working, resulting in a five week turnaround and a $150 bill. Words cannot describe the disappointment I feel with the Lefty. Lefty might have been a boat load stiffer back in the Mag 21 days and forks with QR's, but now I don't think it has a huge advantage for XC and trail riding as claimed. Yeah, the Lefty is stiff - but then again so are the latest QR20 forks too. You are also stuck with the Lefty specific hub too. Want to change your stem - tough, it will cost you an arm and a leg. Fanboys will tell you the Lefty is amazingly smooth - it's not bad but if you ever felt an old Marzocchi you have felt smooooth and the Lefty isn't it.
The DEALER admits these things are as high maintenance as a supermodel girlfriend. I'm scared to ride this piece of overpriced gimmick junk ever again! Cracknfail fainboys would have you believe this is unusual - a friend of mine has had exactly the same problems with his. Again it came back with the clunk when locked out.
