MegaSack DRAW - 6pm Christmas Eve - LIVE on our YouTube Channel
I have a set of forks that are 27.5 rockshox Reba from 2015ish I think. I have had no lockout for a while now as the remote wasn't working. I have had a look today and tried to reconnect it. It is the gripshift style rubber lock out lever where you turn it to lock or unlock. However down on the fork I am struggling to get the right tension into under the cap with the cable. When connected it successfully turns the lockout from unlock to lock however the forks remain unlocked in both settings. Strangely I thought at one point the forks did lock out but the lever showed setting as unlocked so I disconnected to try and set it up again. Am I missing something in the set up? It's a 2.5mm Allen key and I see two sections to the plastic cap one is the top which is like a stem top cap and the lower interfaces into a bolt on the frame.
Has the spring inside the damper come lose? does it spring back if you turn it by hand?
edit - Ignore that, i mis-read your original post
No worries, I've seen some videos on YouTube and I am pretty sure I am connecting it up right, it does say to put the switch into unlock position before connecting the cable up reasonably tightly. Hard to establish how the lockout needs to work as I cannot test it until its cabled up and then switch to lock. I still unsure how I did it but I had it locked while it was switched to unlock and then turned it and it unlocked it. I should have kept it like that, it's not the end of the world as there's nit a big issue with bobbing for general riding but would be nice to have the option
If you email me the serial number of the fork I'll send you the Rockshox PDF set up guid for your model year.

I have just taken the cap and cables off the lockout section and have established with a 8mm spanner that even when manually turning it to the lockout position it still won't lockout which means the issue must be internal it seems.
I only persevered trying to keep re tensioning the cable because I had the for locking out a couple of days ago whilst trying but the lockout showed as unlocked in the remote when it was locked and then when i switched to lock it unlocked the forks? Not sure how that happened but I probably should have kept it like that as it was locking and unlocking via remote?
