  1. The other day I saw a bike (liquid 30 I think), with a spring loaded
    lockout lever on the handlebars. The lockout lever on my Fuel Ex8 is a
    little cumbersome and there have been a couple of time I wish could
    switch from lockout to full travel faster.

    This lever had a ratchet mechanism that would hold the lever in the
    "lockout position", and there was a little button on top that would
    release the mechanism back to the "full travel" position.

    But I can't seem to find any information on them anywhere? (going back
    to the bike store I saw it at is a problem because it is really far
    away). All the other bike stores I have tried have no idea what I'm
    talking about.

    Has any one else seen these and have more information on them?

    Anyone have experiance with spring loaded lockout levers? Who makes
    them? Can I replace my current lever? Do I want to?
