Scott Genius owners & shock question.

Hi all,
For any Scott Genius (MC 20 here) owners out there how do you find the lock out function, do you get complete fixed rear end in lock out mode or a little shock movement?
Up until recently I had never noticed any real travel in the shock at all if I was in lock out but recently I seem to be having a bit more. I can feel a little movement over bumps when riding and if I put both hands on the saddle and push down again I get a little suspension travel.
I am aware that the shock has a 'blow-off' feature to safeguard the shock in case any hard bumps are taken in fully locked out mode but I don't ever seem to have noticed this travel before?
Cheers folks.

Just go thru the manual and re-set the shock up again- particuarly regarding the cable and at what point it opens the different chambers of the shock- the cable may thave stretched a bit for example- you will probably find this just needs a little tweaking- I used to find I needed to do that every few months....
a tiny bit of movement would be expected anyway- but nothing more than about a few mm if its set up properly.
nice bikes, but a bugger to set up properly.....0 -

Thanks for the reply mate.
I know what you mean with the cable and I do check it now and again just to make sure that the suspension is opening up fully and giving me maximum travel, but I don't think that can be the problem. If the shock is set to 'locked out' then the cable is under no tension at all, obviously if you want to open the shock the cable then pulls and opens the lever.
I don't see how it can be the cable stretch when fully locked out means the cable is relaxed?
Your right though, a royal pain in the @rse to set up.........0
