Bicycle Mechanics - Can Lockout be added to a 04 Jekyll 2000's Lefty?

Greetings,

I just test rode a Jekyll 2000 today and I like the bike. One thing is that its Lefty front shock doesn't have a lockout feature (in US). Is it true that a lockout feature cannot be added or upgraded to it?

Many thanks,
- Alex (newbie). :)

You could purchase the Lefty Carbon ELO. It comes standard on the Scalple Team Replica. I am not sure what it would cost you but most likely it will be a few grand. These are the specs;

100/80MM VARIABLE TRAVEL
TELESCOPING NEEDLE BEARING ASSEMBLY DELIVERS INCREDIBLE HANDLING AND STEERING PRECISION
REMOTE ELECTRONIC LOCK-OUT
DAMPER CHARACTERISTICS ARE TUNABLE THOUGH OIL WEIGHT CHANGE
SHIMMED CARTRIDGE INTERNALS
LIGHTWEIGHT AIR SPRING
LIGHTWEIGHT CARBON FIBER OUTER TUBE
ALLOY INNER TUBE
TITANIUM SPINDLE
THE WORLD'S LIGHTEST 100/80MM VARIABLE TRAVEL FORK WITH REMOTE LOCKOUT
WEIGHT - 3.0LBS/1.362kg

A few grands for a new front shock? :eek:

Bummer... I wish Cannondale will sell something like a lockout kit (like its European Jekyll's Electronic Lockup feature) in US.

I like the bike. However, when I test ride it in the dealer, on flat and not even climbing, the front end bops like a Caddy as soon as I stand-pedal...

Cannondale shouldn't give the goodies (Electronic Lockup) just to the European model... :(

With best regards,

Sorry, I meant Electronic Lockout, not lockup :p

if you know somebody who lives in europe you could always get them to buy the bike and send it to you:D

I think the ELO can be added to a variety of Cannondale's Lefties... we just put one on a Carbon this week but I recall one of the mechanics saying something about putting one on his bike which is a lower end Lefty.
