![]() I'll keep this threat updated if it happens again. Once the weather cools down a bit, I'll hit the trails for a real test ride and to make final adjustments. Consult the RockShox service manual for your fork for complete disassembly and assembly procedures. I'm now a happy camper! Rode it home without any problems. ![]() The shock remains fully open without having to hold the button. Now you hear the click when the button is half way pressed. Here comes XLoc Full Sprint, which allows you to lock your SID or Revelation XX fork and your Monarch XX rear shock with the simple push of your thumb. One of the guys finally discovered that if you hold the button all the way down, then the shock fully opened! But if you let go, it stiffened back up. You could audibly hear the click when you push in the remote, but the clicking happened when you pushed it in all the way. I was persistent and kept taking it back after every ride.įinally, a couple of the older guys at the shop rode it and agreed that something is wrong. It was clearly way too stiff when unlocked. Cannondale purposely made it really stiff cause cross country riders want it to be stiff. Initially, I was told by a couple of salesmen and techs that this is how it's supposed to be. I didn't want to mess with it and then be blamed for screwing it up. Internals and chassis parts designed for SID B (120mm max travel) are not compatible with SID A (100mm max travel). Since my bike is less than 30 days old, I wanted the shop to fix this problem. Where the alloy cans have a tiny nub on the outside where the check valve is, there’s a small hump on the carbon shell.Thanks for everyone's input. The Monarch XX and RT3 use a Solo Air design to set the negative pressure automatically. Boobar says there’s no additional wear on the inside of the carbon can versus their alloy can, and they use a proprietary resin and construction method to keep the oil from affecting the resin or seeping through. The carbon air can is full carbon except a small aluminum seal gland (opposite end of what’s shown here) that provides a much higher tolerance precision to keep the seal tight and properly positioned. MSRP is $540 for the carbon version, which is the only one available aftermarket. So, for now, rest easy knowing that they’ve thought about it but are stopping short of saying they’re presently working on it. Unfortunately, the amount of flow and pressure required to unlock the shock is too different from what makes their forks work. Yes, they’ve looked at doing a dual XLoc lever to simultaneously lockout the shock and an XX fork, but Boobar says if it were an easy solution, they’ be leading with it. The rebound damping is controlled by the red knob, which has one slightly larger nub to provide a visual clue as to it’s position within the range of settings. The Monarch RT3, by comparison, keeps it’s three distinct compression settings, making it the better option for riders that still want some (albeit much firmer) suspension in the third setting. So, the lockout is created hydraulically rather than mechanically. RockShox Hydraulic Remote Discrete Puck (Spacer) For XLoc Remotes Pack/2 your price 9.90 RockShox 11.6818.001. ![]() To lock it out, there are two pistons and the second one is like a top hat that covers the main piston to prevent oil flow. Repaired under warranty by Fishers (having sent the forks back to Merlin first). It gets a completely different damper than the RT3, much more similar to the internals of the Ario. For anyone that’s interested, the issue was hydrolock caused by a faulty lockout. ![]() Rockshox says they did this because it keeps the system very simple and because their athletes said they wanted a hardtail feel when it was locked. There’s no Floodgate, so when it’s locked it’s fully rigid. Speaking of performance, the XLoc remote works just like with the forks, press it in for action, release it to lock things out. Its countless mounting options (left and right, below or above the bar, tall or standard clamp) make it an ideal companion for SRAMs drivetrain, brakes and RockShoxs Reverb remote. Product manager Jeremiah Boobar says that’s a significant drop in weight without sacrificing any performance when you look at the percentage. This hydraulic lockout offers completely sealed and dependable suspension fork or rear shock lockout control through the click of an easy-to-reach button that.133.00 to 148. Like the carbon Monarch RT3, the carbon air can only saves 15g, but it’s worth mentioning that 15g is fully half the ~30g weight of the alloy air can. Subscribe and stay in the loop on whats happening around the shop and in our local mountain bike community. The carbon-bodied shock weighs in at just 275g with remote, and 290g for alloy. ![]()
