• I agree with @Dammit . Especially so for an XC biased bike which for which the shocks will be valved towards pedaling efficiency anyway.

    Funny how often people forget to unlock and lose so much more time on a rough technical section than they gained by being locked out on the smooth climb beforehand.

  • Or the lockout cable sticks and you spend half the race trying to unlock your forks as I’ve had before! Was nice for road climbs if you want to stomp out of the seat, but otherwise I’d rather have a well set up fork that’s on all the time
