Pike - Is it possible to retrofit a lockout?

ollienorth

Hi there,

Either I'm useless at searching for an answer to this (which is more than likely) or the answer isn's an easy one. I bought a cube Fritzz 2014 back in December and while I am well pleased with it there is one thing I am missing and that's bar mounted suspension lockouts. The bike came with Rock Shox Pike RC Solo Air 27.5 and a Manitou Radium rear shock my plan was to swap the rear shock for a Rock Shox with remote lockout on in it to compliment the Pike's is it possible to retrofit the Pikes with a lockout? I know you can buy them separately from Sram but I can't see if they are compatible or indeed how to fit.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

No, SRAM don't list a remote damper for the Pike fork

poah

not for either and TBH you don't need it - if you get a rear monarch RT, RT3 or RC3plus the hardest compression setting is more than enough for fire road climbs. I have an RC3 and a pike on my ghost and even on the road I only dial in LSC on the pike and flick the lever to the middle setting on the shock. its easy to flick the monarch to open too if you come to a down hill section.

Your handle bars would be pretty cluttered if you had two remote lockouts on there
