Hi

I have just bought a Specialized Stumpjumper which is fitted with Reba RLT 90mm forks. would like to fit a remote lock out kit but need to make sure i get the right parts. Could someone please let me know which kit would be suitable?

    No idea on parts, but IMHO a waste of time, money and energy. Easy enough to lean forward and turn it.
    Just adds clutter to the bars.

    I'd have paid to change my rebas back to a manual lockout, but they came with the poploc supplied. I don't miss it at all on either of my two bikes that its not on now, find it a lot better.

    A bit late to the party I know. I would like to further reinforce the point not to get a remote lockout. I bought a Reba with one and would love to change it to a normal one! Does anyone know how?

    If it has the Motion Control damper, then you can can use this link (http://www.thehubsa.co.za/forum/topic/4 ... xing-mcds/) as a starting point. After unscrewing the top cap clockwise (NOT anticlockwise) from the damper body, remove the coilspring, reassemble the damper and remove the poploc/cable from your handlebars. You'll need to buy the standard knob to replace the spool on top of the leg though. Alternatively, simply remove the poploc/cable and the damper's internal spring will keep the damper in the open position.
