Cannondaleriders

does anyone know if stock moto A-arms are long travel or can you use a 16" shock on them?

With Moto arms, you'll be shopping for new shocks! They are longer than our Cannibal's shocks.

Thanks. I wasn't for sure if i would need longer ones or not. I thought they were just +2.

What would be the best +2 A-arm I should get now?

I've got American Star +2's on mine and they seem to be pretty good and priced reasonable. The only problem I have had with them is the powdercoating started peeling off after it got chipped up and power washed a few times.

I found a set of American Stars for $505. I'm also considering Lonestar and Arens arms. Anyone had any experience with those?

I dont think John Arens has A arms for cannondale yet, at least he didnt when I talked to him in april

On other bikes I have had laeger and roll design,I know have Walsh on my dale and they are far better than anything I've had.I don't know if they are the best ,but so far to me they are.

I checked Arens' website and he has Cannondale arms listed in standard and long travel. Says they were suppose to be available in the spring of this year.

give him a call or drop him an email. My last conversation with him was that it was on hold. This was in April I believe.

John's a good guy and easy to talk to.

I've been trying to call him, but all I get is an answering machine. Guess I'll have to email him instead.
Has everyone that has American Star A-arms had good luck with them?? I will probably go with a +2 arm. I would like to go +3, but I don't know if that's possible w/o a long travel shock. I like to hit the trails occasionally.
