Times that I ride and want the front lock out on my cannondale, I find that when I hit bumps that its very rigid. Not that I dont want that, but it feels very harsh, can the headshok be damaged in anyway if it hits a large bump in the lock position?

I believe that they have a blowoff valve so that you can't damage the fork, I jumped my Lefty equiped Cannondale off a curb with the fork locked out and it didn' hurt it at all.
