Mine too! (or at least it will if I ever get the bike back from the shop that's installing my new fork). Manitou Black Super Air.

I've got the lockout with my Trek Fuel 100... Rock Shox Psylo Fork, but I don't find that I use it much. It's done on the fly by flicking a switch on the handle bars.

Yes (Lefty ELO) but to be honest, I don't really use it all that much.. even though it lights up pretty shiny LEDs when its locked out

For most off-road type riding I think an SPV/Terralogic type valving system would be more appropriate.

Hello people,

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 ?

Thanks in advance.

Marcelo

first of all i just want to say you live in a beautiful country. although my travels are limited to B.A. i can imagine santa fe is amazing. try climbing some mad hill without lockout then try it again with it locked and you'll see for yourself, friend.

Hi christd, many thanks by your works about my country. ¿ Where are you from ?

Santa Fe is a very flat area, that´s why I don´t know about climbing techinques.

I founded some troubles with my forks (without lock out) when I'm training on the rollers, I thinks that if I can lock the fork I will feel the bike more "stable" on the rollers.

I think that when I must change the fork I will go for one with lockout.

Best regards.

Marcelo

I've got the Marzocchi Marathon which has ETA. It's a lockout that holds the fork in a compressed position and limits movement to 20-ish mm. The thing I like about this is that it drops down the front end and gets you in a great position for serious climbing while limiting bob, but for big hits, there is still a little give. I got an '04 model on ebay for $120 last year, tuned it up with new seals and oil myself (its really easy). Cant say enough good things about it.
