If you want to service your Lefty 2.0 or SuperMax fork, you can do a few things on your own. The most common service you’ll want to perform is replacing the air seals at the bottom of the damper as part of the 100 hour service. Cannondale is in a transition at the time of writing in parts as the conversion from SoloAir to 2Spring is underway. The 2Spring mechanism takes less maintenance than the SoloAir assembly.
