Skylark Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 Exactly. You don't buy an orange because it looks good. It doesn't care. It just WORKS. It makes no bones about needing a lockout feature to climb at all responsibly. It's a single pivot descending machine built to last and be serviceable. That's it. And it rocks.Well it's definitely not terrible but they good try harder in the looks dept, it's just that swingarm fabrication that lets them down.

At least we can dream. ...oh wait, i've just described the Heckler! I like my Shova lots, but the Heckler is a different hooligan altogether! The single pivot works awesome with the corset air can or the RS Debonair. Hairy and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 2
