Luke Rainbird Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 From memory Fattys are an odd imperial size, though I can't for the life of me remember what that size is. A bit of hunting should bring it up though, it's eben asked on the forum before so the answer is about somewhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think they came off an old pair of rockshox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigjames Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 There are quite a few threads on various forums asking exactly this question. They aren't really available new as Cannondale went bust a while back and changed hands etc. It's more a case of tracking a local shop down that's been a Dale dealer for a while and see if they have any floating around. Check ebay and some of the old school ride forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wip-bikes Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 I made a replacement set for a guy a few weeks ago and Im pretty sure his were a standard M8 by 1.25. I can double check for you if this would help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
