hi there... Question'ssss how important is Lockout? i am trying to decide between a couple of bikes. 1- one has lock out but no disc brakes! good price, ok components speciliazed[Rockhopper(basic)]$450. 2- the other has disc brakes but no lockout,much better components.[iron horse warrior comp] $519. kinda the hi end of $'s for me right now. 3- last is one w/lockout and disc brakes, but components are jus a tad less than on the iron horse.[gary fisher pirahana] $569 extreme hi end $'s for me. should i settle for no lockout or jus get the iron horse w/ disc brakes ? or try and wait and or stretch myself and go for the Gary fisher? would disc brakes be better to have than lockout? i guess should i sacrifice one component for the other? anyone suggest a bike in that $400-500 dollar range? if it helps any... i'm 5'3-150lbs and no inseam,ok ..30"inseam! any help on this would be great!!! THANKSSSSSSSSSS |

Re: Does your fork have lockout?
my fork is a Manitou Six 2003 without lock out (first bike with suspension fork)
¿ When you use the lock out ? What is the lock out for ? Well if you have it and dont use it ,maybe you don't need it. However ,most lockouts have a Quick flic lever on the top of the right hand leg and by turning this you can turn it so it eventually locks the fork to a rigid fork.Some have a handle bar mounted lever THE LOCKOUT FEATURE IS GREAT FOR WHEN YOU STAND AND CLIMB ,THE FRONT END DOESN'T BOB WITH YOUR PEDAL STROKE. Know the position of the lockout lever,sometimes little fingers fiddle with levers ,and on that bumpy ride downhill,you'll learn the difference of a locked out shock and one with travle. |

Re: Does your fork have lockout?
Some guys are switching their disk brakes back to v brackes,some guys love their lockout and others never need it,So its very much a personal experience,
Did i look wrong but both the piharana and iron horse sites show bikes with disks,the warrior comp,has the manitou shocks and avid disks? |

do NOT sacrifice getting a nicer bike with higher end components just to get lockout!!! i have it on my ellsworth...rockshox reba team with remote lockout. i like it. but only use it on maybe 1/2 the rides. you would likely notice the effect far less than you if you got a ride with less weight and better shifting components. |
