Lockout rear susp still moves, what gives?

[Destroy]

I've got a TALAS rear Fox shock with lockout on it (Liquid 10 bike).

Thing is, when I flip the switch to lockout position the susp still
moves a bit. If I really jump on it, it'll move quite a bit.

Granted, its very very stiff and hard to push down but the shock is
truly not "locked out" or solid.

Is this normal or is my shock bad already?

thanks

"What gives?" you ask, humph well I'll tell you what gives.

Dumb ass people giving their hard earn dollars to the hype machine so
they can post dumb ass sh!t like you just did.


That's what gives.

Peace,

I think there is a 'blow off' circuit to prevent the shock from being
damaged by taking a hit while locked out. You may be activating it. Give
Fox a call to see for sure. www.foxracingshox.com .

Oh and ignore that Wheeler guy, he fell off his bike and landed on his head.

Just out of curiosity, why do you consistently reply to FS questions?
They never have any relevance. I think your lure broke off long ago... :-)

Good question.

My answer is this:
I gotta stick to my shtick, it's part of me that I can't part with.

Sorry Cam, I meant to reply to the post and not to your e-mail

Why don't you just do what most normal people do, visit the toilet to "part
with it."

Hey, if it works for ya, go with it. I am riding a 9 speed with two rings.
Yet I have very fond memories when I was on a BMX doing freestyle
as a teenager. Even managed to pull off a CherryPicker once.

Kids!

BMX-s weren't invented until after I had had my own kids. ;-)

Steve feeling older by the day.... (wonder why?)

>Holy crap! You invented bmx as well as mountain biking?! ;~p

LOL! Beat me to it.

JD, I had my first kid in '79. Dunno whern BMX was "invented" but do not
remember seeing anything like one until we moved to the States in '84.

Steve OK, OK, I _know_, it wasn't me that had the kid, it was the wife........

BMX kicked off in the early 70's and started to get organised around '75
with race series and the like. In 1977, BMX Action magazine was launched.

There's not an official start date, but it was all kids like JD with
bikes modded to look like MX bikes that kicked it off. I hear JD was
the very first though...

32 years old may make me a kid, but at least I'm not a grumpy old fart with

Ahem. That would be "a grave". And considering your rapidly
developing dementia, how would you even know?

I know, I know, NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition.....

Dementia my foot. Where was my foot? Oh, yeah, in the gravy. Gotta remember

You're more than welcome ;-)

They may have known, but they still didn't expect it.

Yup!
