I have just bought a giant talon 0. 2015 on it has fox float evo ctd folk I just noticed is does not have fully lockout system
To be honest I am on the heavier side
I had the giant talon 27.5 5 2014 version and I feels stronger and has stranded folks that I could lock out fully


Does the this folk below have fully lock out

RockShox 30 GOLD TK SoloAir Fork with 100mm travel

Or any other folks I could get

    'Stranded folks'?'
    Why not just ride it and see.
    IMHO lockout is fairly pointless. And lockout is a misnomer - the forks aren't locked, the compression damping is just firmed up.

    Climb on the CTD adjuster is the nearest you'll get to 'locked out' on your fox forks, but as Cooldad says why do you want lockout you'd only really use it on the road and even then it's not really needed.

    Unless you ride on the road all the time in which case why do you have a MTB

    Yes, but it will still compress if you hit a bump really hard (like forgetting to unlock them... :oops: )

    You need to buy a shock pump.
