ChrisF Posted August 2, 2021 Share On a previous bike I caught out badly during a race .... climb, climb, climb .... all the while locked out for efficiency ..... The next moment we were RACING down a mine shaft !!! cross rutted rain ditches !!! Riders all round me .... There simply was no way to slow down safely to reach down to open the shock .... and bouncing down a "RB hardline" trail at lightning speed on a rigid aint fun !!! Shortly thereafter I bought the Scott Spark 940, with the dual lockout on the fly .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted August 2, 2021 Share Back in 2006 the RC looked like this, with 2 x gear shifters and the shock lock out lever. Did a couple of 24hr races and Trans B on her ... she was a rather good ride back in the day. ChrisF and DieselnDust 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonatelloOnPinarello Posted August 2, 2021 Share 17 hours ago, OVERDRIVE said: Pro guys, is it easier to ride with all this tech though? Or needs twice the skill and twice the ability? I’m hoping your comment was tongue in cheek. This is not hard to manage. Not so long ago the pro peloton was racing down alp de huez wheel to wheel, on 20mm tires, and had to let go of the bars to change their non indexed gears on the down tube. While there feet were literally ratcheted down to the pedals. If this cockpit causes a short circuit in your motor reflexes, I hope I never end up riding in a bunch with you… Sid the Sloth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I scratch my head how anyone can ride without remote lockout. I mean it makes sense to "set and forget" if you have a high end shock and fork with multiple levels of fine tuning adjustments but the idea of reaching down to my fork or shock midride just gives me cold sweats. Edit: Answering as a CAT 5 pro What you said right there is why I'll stay on the hardtail Long Wheel Base and ChrisF 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
