Left Lever Situations

THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING
A continuation from my rear shock lever drama...

I have my One Up dropper lever on the left side currently:

My shock came originally with this one (but i tipped the bike over and it fell):

WTF am i supposed to do to make this work now
 
If you use something like this to actuate the dropper you could free up the real estate where your current dropper lever resides for a new lockout.




Or…

 
See part 1, it’s the one that doesn’t have the knob adjustment on the stock and NEEDS a cable, so it’s kinda jammed into open and sometimes moves into firm
 
Put a small piece of cable and a barrel adjuster on the shock to keep it one position.

This is what I did on my Fox Fork that had a remote. It’s a bad design that no cable = locked. Rock Shox got it right.
I snagged a cable on a ride and was stuck with a locked fork.

They have since reversed this stupidity.
 
I run the suspension lockout in on the bar out of the way of the dropper lever. Like 2 inches inward. Hardly ever ride the bike locked and it’s the same where no cable = locked. The better way is to run the gripshift lockout on the left and then the dropper remote has no interference.
 
When can I just get an electronic switch that raises the seatpost and locks the rear shock?
 
I keep reading this title as “Leftover situations” and my mind is just spinning with the backstory possibilities.
 
Flight attendant?


And like you would get that anyway 😂
Does it actually do that though? Like if the dropper is up it's locked out? I guess it would also make sense to just have the two-button shifter on the left, one button does dropper, one does shock. But would be cool if it changed the shock depending on the actual dropper position.

I am in the market for an XC bike, but no I wouldn't get Flight Attendant.

It takes all the info and decides what to do with the shock. Post up, big gear, high wattage, the bike locks out. Same with low wattage and the dropper down bike is wide open. When I had it the system was still being worked out but it’s right more than it isn’t.
