Fox suspension vs fork lockout for Orbea Squid lock


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi All, some advice please.

I have recently been through a frame warrantee process, Orbea Oiz 2023 to the new Orbea Oiz frame, which differs in travel (100mm vs 120mm). The shop I used ordered a Fox 120mm shock suspension, unknowingly with the "incorrect" lockout orientation, the result being opposite lockout action on the fork vs the shock. The fork open means the suspension is locked and vice versa. So the bike now basically is a hardtail.

Already the shock cost a bit, so I am wondering if there is something that can be done on the fork to orientate the lockout in the same way the suspension works.

TIA, cheers.

It’s called a remote spool assembly and you either want the ptu or ptl one

Knipe Racing sorted me out and the link above was me sharing what I had learned. speak to Louis.

Thanks all for the info! 
 

Now another option, can one change the orientation of the suspension shock lockout? 
Atleast then the remote lockout will work the way I it was designed..

So regardless of which one you change, the lever will still work the same way, you will just have alignment in that both shock and fork would the be open or closed at the same time. There is no specific direction for the lever as I have it, so determined by the shock and fork it will either be push to open or push to lock, no wrong or right there.
