Fox RP2 pro pedal on, off, on, off, on....

JimmerG

So I've got my lovely new Trek Fuel, sporting a FOX RP2. I've been messing around with the pro pedal lever - and I'm hugely impressed with the difference it makes, the bike really feels responsive up the hills with it on, and lovely and plush with it off.

But now I find I'm flicking it on and off the whole time - on for the slightest up hill, and off for the slightest downhill.

Now, am I going to wear this thing out with all this flicking on, off, on, off?

I'm hoping there are people out there who've been doing this for years with no troubles!!

I would very much doubt it, been fiddling with my Triad for 3 years and no ill effects. Biggest problem is crashing as you try and adjust on the fly

I dislocated a rib in a crash when night riding and trying to flick my itch switch from short to long, while riding. It was most painful :oops:

What is still important is to make sure that the sag and rebound is correctly set. But I thought the idea of pro pedal is that it can "tell" the difference between pedal induced bob and trail bouncing.

It can. I must admit I usually leave my pro-pedal leaver in the pro pedal position, sometimes locking out for road riding and very occaisionnally setting it to fully open for descents.
