Sooo,

I want suspension, but I don't want suspension.

I know you can get bar mounted front sus lockout thingys, that seem pretty crappy, but have the boffins come up with rear sus lockout yet?

All that gatting off and adjusting dials and gubbins to suit terrain seems a bit old fashioned.

Come on you egg-heads, sort it out.

scott geniuses can have a handlebar lockout iirc

i think fox do one too

For rear sus?

RP3 Fox shock has a switch on it. Not really to use when riding but you can put it on fully bouncy, medium bouncy or no bouncy at the flick of a lever. Its the propedal settings yer adjusting btw

Manitou Radium RL has a lockout switch, seemed ok to flick it over when riding, probably not advisable though.
Lockouts for puffs.

my k2 has a handle bar mounted rear suspension lock out might be persuded to sell it lol

Scott MC does have bar mounted rear lockout, and ETA front forks - so you can go 'ard if you want to.

The old Fox RL shock on old Tracer had a lockout device which was fitted later as an upgrade. It's a really crude design and has caused many a cursing moment from mechanics all over the world because it is so fiddly to install. It worked pretty well in use though.

Smashing stuff chaps.

If I wait a couple more years they should have it sorted.

The idea of stopping to fettle is just a poor show.

well, get a scott genius with a rockshox fork with motion control & your're set!

Numpty, this is gay talk.

How about get a full susser and set it up properly... Lock out, what a load of old toss.

Bikes are there to be ridden, not dialled in, fiddled with, fiddled some more with, locked out, un-locked...

Platform shocks, yes, lock out? Bollocks.

I say, it's that funny Numpty chap again!

Still nto got round to buying a bouncy fiets, eh? Well never mind, there's plenty of time!


Give my regards to the cold beer at Nieumarkt, what!

The trek fuel ex's have rockshox travel front and rear with a combined front and rear poploc. I.E. one lever, two lockouts. Nice.

Actually what's so wrong with deciding when the shock should be actuated or not? Platform shocks look good on paper but the reality is there is a trade off over small bump performance. Specialized have their Brain technology but I already have a brain in my head so I think I can decide when my shock should work or not. I just think that a lock out has the best of both worlds. You can mash it up to the top of the hill and come down it like Gracia.

I have a lockout on my Scott Genius and rate it highly. Don't often lockout the rear fully but switch between Traction control and all travel to fine tune bike on the fly

Ah Misty, you pig. But gay it is.

Welsh Idiot, you Welsh idiot.


That Trek sounds the business, one lockout, shame it's a Trek. Never liked those I'm afraid. Same with Scott.


Totally agree Daftpunk. I hated the boingy ride uphill.


Flash old chap,
You still owe me a trip to Picadilly and an evening at Madame Fifi's Brothel.

How are the SE5A's I sent the squadron?
Bloody marvellous I hope.

Tiptop, old bean!

Whatever suits your riding style imo, I use a platform shock and don't notice any "small bump" trade off.

I am a seated climber as apposed to a masher aswell so whatever floats your boat.

Numpty - What makes me an idiot..?

It's my opinion, which, if I recall correctly, I'm entitled to..??

Don't ever call me a f**king idiot for expressing my opinion, no matter how wrong you think it is..
