Rockshox Lockout Remote System

prusaprinters

<p>These are the parts necessary to put together a remote lockout system for your front Rockshox suspension fork.</p> <p>Compatibility not guaranteed.</p> <h3>How I Designed This</h3> <p><a href="http://www.alshub.com/Blog/Entries/2011/5/20_Putting_it_All_together.html">http://www.alshub.com/Blog/Entries/2011/5/20_Putting_it_All_together.html</a></p> <p>&amp; just general research.</p> <p>Designed for my Rockshox Recon Silver, 100 mm, G2 geometry fork.</p> <h3>Assembly</h3> <p>You'll need:</p> <ul> <li>shifter, an indexed one would probably be preferably. Right/left doesn't matter.</li> <li>cable housing</li> <li>shift cable</li> <li>M5 bolt, just needs to be long enough</li> <li>M5 nut: the inset is designed to fit one with 8.05 mm between parallel sides</li> <li>an expansion spring: should be stiff enough to push your manual lockout switch to the open position (anti-clockwise). Mine is .70 mm thick, 35 mm long, 7.56 mm ID, 8.79 mm OD. There's a curved surface on the stop, etc. to permit a small range of springs.</li> <li>Shimano cable anchor plate. These should be pretty common. Ask your LBS for a spare.</li> </ul> <p>These 3D printed parts</p> <ul> <li>fork steerer cable guide: <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2301284">http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2301284</a></li> <li>switch + cable anchor</li> <li>cable stop</li> </ul> <p>Mount your shifter, install your cable &amp; housing length needed to reach the cable stop on the fork crown. Use the steerer cable guide to route the cable under the downtube &amp; behind the fork crown.</p> <p>Remove your existing lockout switch, but keep the coarsely threaded sheet metal screw that comes with it (mine is countersunk).</p> <p>Slip the cable stop over. It will align in only 1 of 6 positions; I would choose the one closest to the back of the bicycle. Then slip the replacement switch + cable anchor piece on top. Secure the screw back on.</p> <p>Run your cable through the spring, &amp; add the Shimano anchor plate, then secure that with your M5 bolt &amp; nut.</p> <p class="detail-image"><img src="https://cdn.thingiverse.com/assets/a6/52/aa/ce/a1/foto_no_exif_1.jpg"/></p> <p class="detail-caption"><strong>Shimano cable anchor plate</strong></p> Category: DIY
