Have seen some in the sale and wondered if they're worth getting over team air u turns?

I'm running the XX rebas - only real difference over the Team is the X-Loc... which is brilliant.

If you don't use lock out really, then prob not work having.

I actually got them in the sale cheaper than I could get the Team version, so winner all around.

I'm running pike coils at the mo and never wind them down , only ever flick the lock out for long road or fireroads , what does the x-loc do?

X-lock is a remote lockout like pop-lock, but it's hydrolic, rather than a cable... so more reliable and nicer action. Also, it has a remote barrel adjuster (on the bar mounted button) for adjusting the low speed compression damping, which can be useful. I never liked pop lock and so took it off my old Revelations and switched to a standard leg top lever for lock out and only used it for fire roads.

Now I've got x-lock I use lock out really regularly, I can jump out the saddle to sprint up a short climb and push the x-lock button to stiffen up the front super quick... I am aware that I am starting to sound like an advert here. Anyway, I like it, but I use it a lot.
