Don't use the lockout all to often, the remote pop-lock seems over kill, would prefer to easily switch it on/off the forks!

    Rebas come with both options. TBH I'd have preferred manual lockout as a) its less to go wrong and b) more room on my already cramped handlebars. But I got them at a very good price and they only were offering the remote lockout.

    Comparing remote and manual, it looks like just a case of swapping the lump of plastic on top of the RH leg from one to the other!

    Not done it myself but i saw this pdf at stw recently:

    Basically you need to unhook a spring in the damper and then replace the hardware on the top of the leg. If you don't unhook the spring the lockout won't stay on with a normal dial!

    Should be quick and easy if you're careful not to lose any oil from the damper. Tempted to do it myself!

    There is a guide in the faq - there is a spring in the poplock damper.

    give TF tuned a call they are very helpfull and carry all the bits you need. I spoke to them about going the other way thinking remote lock out would be better but they talked me out of it. I am sure the damper is different but cant remember.
