What the the advantage of it? Just seems to be over-engineered technology for the sake of it.
Seems as though you wouldn't get a build up of mud in the forks when off-roading.I like them because I was able to get an older model Cannondale with normal forks (albeit single air shock in the forks)for half price.

I can't understand how there can be an overall weight saving; you're still dealing with the same forces but with a 'one side only fork', you've introduced a moment at the edge of the hub that needs resisted, requiring extra stiffening.
Maybe going a little bit O/T but it was originally designed with an alluminium foot, that proved too weak, needing re-engineering and production in titanium. It has (obviously) a single leg with both parts (the sliding and the fixed part) made with carbon fibre, with a complex exagonal roll bearing granting the functionment. It works on a dedicated wheel hub and has an upside down structure, granting greater rigidity than a conventional X-country fork. Available with 63-80 and 100 mm travel capacity, has an internal adjustable air chamber and spring. Was available with manual or electronic lock-out (ELO).Weight ranging from 1.7 to 1.1 kg depending on the version and date of production, compared with 1.3 kg of the more conventional Rock Shox SID Black Box.
A link to a video from the MG Montego Time for Tea thread in which a chap has a barn full of MG Montegos, one for each reg, in order, not forgetting two for the facelift year.

All that effort and some of the wheels aren't straight.

People who mount hanging basket brackets upside down need to be dragged into the street and publicly birched. Drives me mad 
Although, from a purely engineering viewpoint, a structure such as that is possibly less likely to fail when that diagonal support strut is in tension rather than in compression; ergo, that could be correct, and we could all be wrong!yellowjack said:

Not the image, maybe, but those bunnies haven't been anywhere near the Lindt factory.
The bow is not printed onto the foil of a proper Lindt Gold Bunny, and they should all have a collar and bell.
They are the small ones, not the big'uns. I'm on my mobile so can't really see the Lindt website images clearly, but it looks as though their small packs contain printed bunnies.Not the image, maybe, but those bunnies haven't been anywhere near the Lindt factory.

The one by my front door gets fitted like that.The holes were already drilled, I just turned the bracket around when I moved in to bring the basket lower. I'm a short arse and it means I can reach to water the damned thing.

I think he may be seeing water drops. I am sure the issue with this car is the number plate. It's my issue anyway
Yep the number plate is crooked, looked far worse and irritating in the metal. water drops don't help, kept catching the wipers in the photo so best compromise was posted!littleredrooster said:

I based my accusation on this...

"Not only does Lindt provide the ultimate chocolate experience, but every Gold Bunny is meticulously packaged in Gold Foil and finished with a red ribbon and of course the famous bell which sits neatly around the neck of this greatly adored Gold Bunny."
