If you're riding on pavement there is no need to activate the fork. It's just a flick of a switch on my handlebars while riding along. On another bike my old sid hydro airs were pumped up enough that a lockout wouldn't need required...some give but otherwise firm. On cheap old and new bikes the rebound is so crappy the fork just behaves like a spring robbing you of control and pedaling efficiency...full squish cheapos are even worse.
