does any one know if you can convert from remote to standard compression on reba team forks, getting fed up with the pop lock now and hardly use anway
yes, either unhook the spring inside the damper or do it properly, replacing the compression damper and top cap.
I don't think there is really a downside to the bodge, other than possibly devaluing the fork (and you can't undo the change as far as i know)
I use the third option, use the end of a gear cable, with the blob bit inside the cable hole, and using the now stationary cable to set and lock off the compression setting.
Same principle as running a normal mech as a single speed chain tensioner.
I keep meaning to get round to doing this, just cannot bring myself to spend [url= http://www.tftunedshox.com/Catalogue/Shop-RockShox/RockShox/RockShox-Revelation-Parts ]£30 on 2 small pieces of metal and an o-ring.[/url]

Quite, but that does mean you can't really adjust or lock out the fork on the fly doesn't it?
why on earth would I want too? IMHO Lockout is for people who arent smooth, and I set and forget my compression.
Simples.

bully for you! 😉
Personally I prefer to be able to adjust with my adjusters! 🙂
see, my mum told me not to play with my knob, or it will fall off, and given some early problems with nitrogen charges escaping out of rebound knob ports on Romic rear shocks, this is something I have adopted for my biking too. Not faffing with the kit I ride faster, and faff less.
With a bit of thought it is not hard to dismantle the damping cartridge and disable the spring. It is possible to re-attach it too. The knob on the top will still work, so you don't need to replace it.
If you can 'do' Lego, you can 'do' this.
