Left Lever Situations

[Pearl]

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.

ReMote 360

Wolf Tooth ReMote 360 is a joystick-style dropper lever that can be installed almost anywhere on the handlebars. It is compatible with all cable-actuated dropper posts. The lever can be pushed or pulled in any direction with a thumb or index finger. The clamp can be rotated 360º around the bars...

Works nice, @Matt_ has a small trick with a zip tie, that I still have to do on my wife’s bike, cause the cable constantly comes out of the groove

Seem to remember seeing this setup in person in the Wolftooth booth at the Philly Bike Expo.

Just leave the rear shock unlocked?

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?

Singlespeed.

I keep reading this title as “Leftover situations” and my mind is just spinning with the backstory possibilities.

 

[Pearl]

Ya don’t they have an AXS option? I want like 9 batteries on my junt

 

[Steve Vai]

Bro, it’s only 7.

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.
