I've got my full sussers set up with a dual poploc (locks/unlock both fork and rear shock together - see pic at the bottom of this post) at the moment and I love being able to set the suspension up nice and compliant for the bumpy stuff while being able to lock it/add compression damping for the smoother stuff where I want to gurn out of the saddle without riding a pogo stick or using a propedal shock which I always find is a compromise.
The problem is that the dual poploc lever itself isn't great as it's not that easy to flick while riding and doesn't move particularly smoothly.
So, I've been thinking of options:
1 - Get a replacement lever that allows both shocks to be locked as per the dual poploc but smoother (and note that the fork and shock work differently - for the fork you pull cable to lock, for the shock, you release it)
2 - Fit individual standard poploc remotes (I already have these spare) to the fork and rear shock giving total control over both independently but adding clutter to the bars and means having to lock/unlock both when I want to (and I've been happy having them locking/unlocking together with the existing dual setup)
3 - use a poploc remote for the fork and get a thumbie or similar to control the rear shock - kind of the same issues as 2.
Thoughts?
(and sorry, I'm not interested in whether I need to lock out or not - it works for me and the riding I do, thanks ๐ )
Why do you have to have the rear on a remote, can't you reach just under the top tube with those unfeasibly long arms of yours?
I manage on the Turner with my stumpy lil arms and the switch is a lot more inaccessible than on your frame design ...
It's a long way down for me ๐
You're right, I could (well, if the shock was a normal lockout one) but I don't want to - in the same way that I could change rear gears retro stylie with a fork that you hit with your heel... ๐
If the existing setup worked like the standard poploc remote but on both fork and shock, that'd be perfect but having taken the remote apart I can't find an easy way to do that without basically machining a whole new one..
