[Closed] pushloc- worth it?

I think it's just a different lock-out lever, more substantial, and durable.

Had one on some older Revs. I thought it was a waste of time. I never really found the need to lock them out, but the one thing it does do is set your compression with the tension in the cable. In the end I removed it and used the barrel end of a gear cable through the hole in the fork crown to set the compression instead.

[i]Also if I get the forks with it on can it be easily removed or do I need replacement parts.[/i]

Need replacement parts.

With the non-Pushloc you can just lean down and lock the forks out with a twist.

I've got two sets of Revs, one with Pushloc and one without: nice to have the bar mounted lever but I don't miss it on the set without

I chucked mine away - useless thing IMO

I sit and spin on climbs and bob is not an issue for me.

i think it's great. Means that i can set up my fork nice and active with the option to lock or significantly add compression damping (depending on the floodgate setting) with the flick of a switch without having to take a hand off the bars

So maybe its another preference thing - I have the fork set up active and bouncy but dont ever find bob an issue climbing so don't need the poplock

TBH I don't use pushloc on long, sit and spin climbs as the fork locks out full extended and I prefer the front to be able to sag down allowing the front to be as low as possible. Weight isn't as heavily on the front on a climb so bob not much of an issue either.

When I do use Pushloc is on short steep out of the saddle all the weight at the front stuff whether that be road or offroad.

Gone without. FYI Merlin have 2009 U-turn revs for £300. Only got 185mm steerer but that's good enough for me.
