easiest way would be to pull the cable tight and secure it in that position

Yup, and then just cut off the rest of the cable.

I'm pretty sure if you pull the cable tight that'll lock it out. Better way would just be to remove the cable.

Agree with just removing the cable. My old Reba has the same lockout. Just undo that tiny Allen screw and the cable will come loose, that will be the easiest test.

if you don't have anything loading the top cap in a clockwise direction could it not shift and lock out ?

well if the cable & lever are fighting a spring to activate lock out then just take all that shit off and it should stay unlocked

yeah I already tried just removing the cable, thats puts in in perma-lockout mode. El Chupacabra - if you use a short piece of cable what did you attach it to, to keep it under tension?

ok so you need to keep it under tension for the shock to be unlocked, i would find something to crimp on the end of the cable

It was quite a while ago - but I think I just pulled the end of the cable through the stop (meaning the end where the cable housing enters the fitting on top of the fork leg) and used the cylindrical piece at the end of the cable (the little bit that goes inside a shifter) as the stop. The bare end of the cable was run through the set screw, like in the first photo. I tensioned it with a third hand tool, then tightened the set screw such that it was in full tension position.
Hope that makes sense. Difficult to describe in words...

I believe you can remove the blue cap, and remove the small spring that returns the cap back to the lockout position. A small washer is needed to take up some slack where the spring was, reinstall the blue cap and the lockout cap can then be manually moved or you can tightened it down so it stays in one position.
Its been a while since I've fixed one of these, but I assume it's a Recon Solo Air with Oneloc?
There is 2 models were you can just actually just replace the top cap.

I've got a fox CTD that came with the remote switch. It was a few years ago but for something like $18 I got a "regular" cap that I swapped out and it now has the manual adjustment. I called fox tech support and they set me up with what I needed. Super easy.
