Hi, regarding the bearing reset tool, I am still a bit confused on how to use it properly. How do you line up with the marking on the tool when there are no printed lines, but only text ? I have a DL80 Super Fatty fork, should I line up under or above the text 70/80 where the tool gets wider in...

Hi Unfortunately I don't know the correct measures for the seals in the HD166 kit, but it's good that you have managed to find the correct seals for the air piston. The brown seal is for the oil piston according to Mike's comment in this thread, and I believe it's a special rubber compound and...

Hi, without knowing the exact type of fork and model year, as far as I know there should be nothing that prevents the air cylinder from coming out just as the damper did. I would recommend trying to push it gently out from below, or maybe someone else has a better suggestion ? Victor

Hi I still drop by here now and then. My fork is still performing well after the service that I did and I enjoy riding my vintage Cannondale :) Good to hear that you have got the tools and parts for your headshock fork! Best of luck with the repair/service, hope all goes well as some of it can...

Ah okay I see. I saw this tool in this video on youtube: But I think you are right, it's better to use something else and then save the money. Thanks again.

Does anyone know if any of these tools can be used on my fork ? https://qwertycycles.co.uk/products/cannondale-lefty-stem-steerer-install-removal-tool-ernie-kt020 https://www.cannondale-parts.de/Lefty-assembly-tool They look slightly different but have the same product name: KT020

I also hear a "clunk" noise during the ride when the fork gets fully extended, and I think that it might also need a reset. Will that tool fit into my Super Fatty DL80 fork from 2001 ? Victor

Ah okay, I didn't know about that tool. Thank you for the advice and for the information, I will buy it promptly! Best regards Victor

I'm actually not sure if any workshop here in norway are still servicing headshock forks...But so far I have been able to service it my self. Next project would be to replace the needle bearings which I luckily found for sale on eBay, but it will necessarily require more tools and to gain more...

Hi I would guess that it's a DLR cartridge, based on the model and production year. If I am not mistaken, DL means "Lockout" and DLR means "Lockout+Rebound". And if it's a ULTRA it means that the fork is 150 grams lighter. Maybe this document may help you identify the fork and cartridge...

To answer my own question, I found this image on internet which shows a small O-ring that looks similar to mine and I think that this must be the correct place to attach it:

Continuing from a previous post (due to image upload limit). After filling up with oil until near the top I put the bullet tool on top of the shaft: I applied a little bit of oil to the seals inside the cap and then I pressed it down onto the shaft slowly and carefully, not to damage the...

By the way, here are the tools and the parts that I used during the service. From left: RockShox Schrader valve Tool, HDTL146 - Leonardi Leo Castle Extraction Tool and SPA-1 - Pin spanner. Then, I used some parts from the HD166 seal kit and I used the HDTL168 Bullet Tool, but I did not use...

Here's a continuation on the Headshock service project. Last edited on April 19 - 2020. I have adopted some procedures from the Headshock Service Manual for the "Fatty 70", provided by Sheldon Brown. Although the forks are not identical, I think that some of the procedures can still be applied...

Thanks for the update on dates, I will post more photos as I move on with my project :)

Hi all I am new to this forum and I have a few questions. I have a F700 that was purchased in early 2002 and I have identified the fork as a Super Fatty DL, disc spesific - 80mm. However, looking at the Cannondale Catalogue, the bike is most likely a 2001 model. A little bit strange; the...
