Thinking about having a MTB built, need some advice....

[skaredshtles]

Sounds like we have the same mechanic.

Yeah, I have no idea what works best for the elites. Being a general slouch that almost never races, I think FS is ideal. Lockouts can be used on smooth trail and roads, and turned off for descents or to give the ass a break.

Lockouts.

You're funny.

[Damian Sanders]

Get a Specialized Camber 29" and be done with it.

Lockouts.

You're funny.

Heh. Yeah, I know. I've been very much anti-lockout until recently. But, I like single pivots, I ride to the TH a lot more now, and gravel connectors are a necessary evil where I ride. :shrug:

[Ted Striker]

Get a 29"...

Does not compute.

Also, didn't you get banned on chad's gap?

Lockouts.

You're funny.

The kool kids just call it 'LSC'.

I have to settle for a "Climb Switch":

This thread is about custom store-bought hardtail full-suspension XC bikes, possibly with LSC lockouts. You're just gonna confuse people.

This is my setup. 29er FS with firm Climb mode on a DPS shock. It's great for riding gravel/pavement/smooth trails. Can switch to Trail/Descend (seem to feel the same) for extra traction or the downhill. For what I do and need, this is perfect.
