So i brought a bike today second hand of ebay, and love it, BUT... I find that locking off the rear shock only seems to get rid of half the bounce.

So, is it meant to lock out completely, or is it ment to have bounce in it still?

or, does it just need servicing?


Much help appreciated, Tom.

    downloaded the manual?

    does it really have a lock out? I dont think so.

    Propedal doesn't lock it out completely, but half travel sounds a bit too much, its basically meant to stop pedal bob uphills but still take out bigger hits.

    It could just need a service or a bit more air pressure, are you sure you've set the sag up right?

    second that, i forgot to pump mine up on my last ride and my propedal setting was like normal suspension, try whacking some more air in it in a scientific fashion
