Anyone get a weird bobbing when their dualie is fully locked out? What I want is to find someone who knows how a Spark is supposed to feel and let me know if something is off. As it stands, I much prefer riding it in Traction mode rather than fully locked out, which is annoying on road climbs.

I'm not the only one.

lockout cable without enough tension would cause the exact problem youve described

Ok, that sounds like an easy fix. Other than making this weirdness go away, how am I supposed to tell how much cable pull the shock and the fork actually need for their modes?

Does anyone have a Scott Spark 930 PDF download? I'm getting feck all. Nevermind. Shit website.

Are you not using the twinlock lever? As long as the cables are tight, then this will always give the right amount of cable pull. The shock should have a little white line on the blue dial. This should end up pointing between two white lines etches on the shock body when it is locked.

I'll have a look at it. But also, if I can tighten it up and the obvious bouncing goes, that's a winner.

I've just added almost 100psi to the rear shock so it's now at 275psi, sag is 25%

When adding shock pressure, do you always measure again after a few bounces and or sag test, because it seems to lose 10-20psi each inflation, presumably from the pump being removed and the air settling in the pos/neg chambers?
