You can also use the Cannondale Lefty upgrade program. Contact your local dealer and you can get a credit for your old fork towards the purchase of a new lefty.

Lefty 2.0's are not available for aftermarket sale at this point. It will be a little while before you will be able to purchase one due to OEM sales. From what I have been told December would be the earliest date you may be able to get one.

Take a closer look @ebay or other platforms.
Unfortuneatly they'll be a bit cheaper.

I got my F-Si carbon Team last week. Out of the Box 8.8kg w/o pedals. :)

Looks great! Can the front hose angle be changed? I don't fancy the hose angle at full compression!

Not really.
Every brake (Magura,Avid,Shimano) has that angle. The real problem ist the contact with the disc when you shorten them or changing the angle.
To avoid that u can switch the hose outside of the fork. So u are able to change the angle of the hose.

You should be able to loosen the banjo bolt to change the angle, at least on Shimano and Formula- not sure on others. As you say though the cable would risk interfering with the disc so better run on the outside I guess. One of the biggest "issues" I had with my Lefty was trying to get the perfect position of the hose guides to let the hose flow freely and not destroy the hoses in muddy conditions while also try and avoid cable rub on the Lefty itself. First World problems :)

Yeah, u can change the angle of the hose, thats right. But it will risk interfering.

Because of many race experience and knowledge i will never put the hose outside the fork.
In my opinion one of the main rules in mtb cycling.

I have no problems with any hose rubbing. Take a coverloop/cableguy or Leonardi Leo-Guide for the Lefty.

Some new Pics... -15° stem not tested yet
RacingRalph mounted and the combi with thunderburt is really good

My set with RocketRons (Crest/dt240s) has already been tested.
I laced the rear wheel AI-Spec with 6mm offset but it isnt enough :/
Have to lace it 4,5mm further left.

Looking good! But what's going on with the seat post? Clearcoat looks to be full of bubbles in the second pic?

guessing, but they've probably made the seatpost with some texture in the finish below the bend to stop it slipping down. it's caught the flash of the camera and looks like bubbles in the clear coat.
