Rockshox Dart 2 2011

pk64

Hi,
I have just received and fitted my new RockShox Dart 2 2011 forks to my Trek 3900 after breaking my standard Suntour ones last week, but the forks don't have a lockout. Does anyone know if I can fit a poploc or a standard lockout. The forks have a preload adjustment, but the right hand side just has a blanking plate.
Thanks in advance, Peter.

Yes, but it will cost nearly as much as the forks I imagine. Need a Turnkey damper unit, and possibly a new rebound rod.

:shock: do you know where I'd be able to get them, looked on ebay / CRC but can't see anything that specifically says Dart 2.

TF Tuned. Look on Fisher Outdoor for prices.

Not really worth the effort or expense.

You've bought the wrong fork really. Should have done some more research.

It's just uneconomical with a 100 quid fork.... Sorry..... :oops:

The prices aren't that bad on the site if its just one of the items I need, but if its a few different ones then I think I'll just forget it!

Yeah you'll need a few of those bits.

pk64

Oh well, thanks for your help. Peter.

i have a pair of second hand dart 2s (2007 model) with lockout if you want them

pk64

Sounds good! How much do you want for them?

pk64

Will the lockout will be transferable to my new forks or will I have to just replace the whole thing?

You need to make sure you have the correct spring in it for your weight also or the front wil be to soft.

erm i think it'd have to be the whole thing.
the lockout does work but it can be a bit tempermental :? although a good service should do the trick and about £35 ?

Frankly spending £35 on those forks just for lockout is a total waste of money. Especially if it's 'temperamental'. Add a 'good' service and you may as well buy some £100 Recons from On One.

Hi, Sorry for the delay, I'm afraid we've had a death in the family and I have a few more important things to be sorting out, so I'm going to have to say no, but thanks for the offer and the info! Sorry for the inconvenience, I hope you can all understand. Peter.

cooldad

Don't think you've inconvenienced anyone.
Sympathy on your loss.

Jack 123

Sorry about your loss Peter its a hard time The wife and I will be praying for you.

Do not worry, one of the main advantages of the Dart is the built in lockout, it will lock up and seize quite shortly.
