I have a set of mint condition Walsh long travel a arms from my 250r. I know these also work on the dales. They are chrome uppers, candy blue lowers. All the bearings are good and tight pc is in nice shape. Have the heavy duty walsh tierods, as well as a set of billet spindles and bladwin billet 250r caliper adapters. This would be over 2000.00 new I'm asking 750.00 I don't frequent this site I can be reached at mgsytsma@gmail.com
Also have a left over rear ohlins from my moto I sold sometime ago. Its been revalved and sprung. Dual Rate. 100.00

Just to let you know the bottom arms are the same but the uppers are different from cannondale walsh arms. Not much different but should talk to walsh to find out.

Everything I have read indicates that if you use the entire 250r front end, it will work just fine on the Cannondale.

It will work but the uppers are different. I had a set and talked to walsh. Not trying to be a jerk here but I went through this and a person spending this much should know .

I'm pretty sure that Walsh builds his 250R a-arms to work only on walsh 250R framed quads and will not bolt up to a regular 250R unless you specify that you need the a-arms for stock geometry. You better check with Walsh to see if your 250R a-arms will work on a cannondale. I know my PRP 250R a-arms will work on my cannondale frame because they will bolt up to any stock geometry 250R front end.

Oh well that may be the case. I didn't know that walsh did that. Sorry.

They bolt up the frame the same, its the anlge of the spindle. The bottoms are the same, the uppers ball joint cup on a angle on the cannondale and the honda's are flat. Im using a 400ex set up on my dale. I will post some pics later.

From what I read, the 250r arms with a cdale spindle creates 6 degrees of camber. If you use the 250r spindle there is no way that it retains that 6 degrees. So in theory, if you use the ENTIRE front end and the a arms bolt correctly to the frame, the 250r front end will work.

The first 2 pics are 400ex walsh arms on cdale spindles and the last one was with 400ex spindles. Hope this helps.

Yeah, exactly what I am talking about. If you use the entire front end it works. Are you using cdale or honda shocks? I was under the impression that the 400ex arms and cdale spindles was only 2 degrees of camber but that is obviously more than that!
