Lockout would have been practical. Maybe in a future future shock?
Yeah, it is whatever you get used to. I run 42s (measure 44s) on the gravel bike and still like the shock stem (20mm travel). I could get used to not having it. It seems to only have squish on the hoods though...not when on the drops or top. Then again, I am primarily a mountain biker used to suspension bikes, though I put in 3,000ish road miles a year. Pure roadies may not like the squish I prefer.
