Conti Posted April 1, 2009 Share so its just a nice extra to have if you use your MTB for what it is intended for? to be used offroad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kennyg Posted April 1, 2009 Share hardly ever, I used it in Sabie, climbing bout 30 kms( day 2), but I ran a softer fork to save the hands on the rough stuff... Thats the only time..I can remember, had it for 2 years now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreZA Posted April 1, 2009 Share It gets used by the people that stand while pedaling. This was pointed out to me as a big no-no on a MTB.      Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtBryda Posted April 1, 2009 Share On the hard fast ground roads in my area I use it. Speed is about 27km/h then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNT1 Posted April 1, 2009 Share  It gets used by the people that stand while pedaling. This was pointed out to me as a big no-no on a MTB.      WTF? I've stooden and pedaled and not use lockout.

KevinV Posted April 1, 2009 Share I seldom use it, worried that one day I will forget to unlock when going back onto rougher terrain and see my @ss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splat Posted April 1, 2009 Share Nice for long fire road climbs - maybe more important if you are racing.or when you stand and climb Or sprinting for the finish line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Dassie Posted April 1, 2009 Share Have to admit, I always thought of it as just another gimmick until I got a bike with lockout.Used it a couple of times, especially on longish climbs, suppose it also depends on what you're going to on the bike.If it's downhills and technical stuff for example, then no.But if you do a lot of trail riding and marathon stuff, then it's more likely you'd use it. Especially in Joburg area on those long winding dirtroads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotSoBigBen Posted April 1, 2009 Share I seldom use it' date=' worried that one day I will forget to unlock when going back onto rougher terrain and see my @ss.[/quote']  I have used it on a few occasions but have also forgotten to unlock once or twice .......... As a rule I don't bother to unlock it, don't find that it's an issue with my fine smooth riding style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotSoBigBen Posted April 1, 2009 Share Or sprinting for the finish line? Â Never had that problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
