Rock Shock 30 Gold TK remote lock out?

[Sharky535]

Hi guys

 

My colleague recently bought a Momsen AL655 with the Rock Shock 30 Gold TK fork and he would like to add remote lockout to the fork.

 

Has anyone done this before if so what remote lockout did you use?

 

Any advice on adding remote lockout to forks would be appreciated.

I don't think RS make a remote compression damper for a 30mm stanchion, which means if he wants a remote he's in for a new fork...

I had a 29" RS Recon gold with remote lock out but think the stanctions was 32mm.

 

He would need to replace the damper with a lockable one I believe?

The damper's lockable as is (well, it's got adjustable LSC if you want to be technical about it), but to fit a remote you need a damper with a spring that defaults to open since a cable can only provide tension. Which means either a new damper or a bodge with a spring from a remote damper, plus a new adjuster and a cable stop. In the case of a 30mm fork, option 2 is it.

 

PB, your Recon Gold has 32mm stanchions, so that damper won't fit.
