Step 8 - TwinLoc Suspension System Check
With SCOTT’s TwinLoc Suspension System (Spark) or RideLoc (scale) we have a 3 position remote lever giving us three suspension modes. Fully open, giving full travel, traction control mode, changing the geometry of the bike and resulting in less travel and a higher SAG point, making the bike sit in a perfect climbing position, or fully locked for asphalt or gravel. I check that the lever runs smoothly, I then place the bike on the floor and check that the fork and rear shock have the 3 modes. If not use the barrel adjuster to see if it’s a cable tension issue, if you’ve had to wind the adjuster out don’t leave it like this, I wind it all the way back in then out one half turn, securing it with the locking nut. I then undo the grub screw taking the slack out of the cable. Re-check the modes. If you find this hard, try doing each cable individually so you can isolate, if it’s the front or the rear that may need attention.
