Who else remembers this early disc CX from Cotic?
Ewen Gellie was mucking around with a tension arm design at one point too:
I present the “Supple Disc forkTM” It looks odd. Needs a straight fork blade, that can be offset at the crown as much as you like. The left fork leg acts as a column with the disc mount effectively pivoting around the wheel axle. Needs a tension member to the fork crown.

I mean… there have to be thousands of right legs sitting around somewhere from all these lefties being made.

I couldn’t make sense of it, but now I see that the arm has been rotated 180 degrees to the other side.
