TNOSE_E Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) Restricts the compression movement of your fork, some people use if when doing climbs. Edited March 13, 2012 by TNOSE_E
Tumbleweed Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 Restricts the compression movement of your fork, some people use if when doing climbs. Especially when getting out of the saddle. I used to use lock-out, but kept on forgetting to disengage it when heading downhill again.

Tumbleweed Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 Who needs lockout ? Definitely not those with permanent lockout!
Corrie21 Posted March 13, 2012 Author Posted March 13, 2012 ok, So would I be missing anything if I never lockout?
NotSoBigBen Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 ok, So would I be missing anything if I never lockout? NO, most don't ....
Tumbleweed Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 ok, So would I be missing anything if I never lockout? Nope. Having the suspension active on technical climbs helps the bike track better.
