Dude, is your epicon the one with the thru axle? I'm diggin it.. Nice..

Hey, yeah it's the Suntour Epicon in 120mm travel with the 15mm axle!

I use an epicon too! they're very reliable on jumps, and very light too! Are you planning to just leave the lockout mechanism like that or are you gonna change it into the lever?

Sysics (Jan 27, 2012 at 23:19)

I want to change it but I have no clue how!

Try searching at sr suntour cycling.. From what I remember, I saw a video removing the lockout.. Maybe you could use that vid as a reference on how will you fix that lock out..

Sysics (Jan 28, 2012 at 5:20)

On the SR Suntour website you get blueprints of the fork. I could remove the lock out and put a 'bolt' or a 'cap' with a screw into it. I will have a look.

you can make your own lockout lever by basing on the blueprints.. and in pictures..

yep, that is it what I was talking about. When I travel down the fork to 100mm I will have a look to the other stanchion as well.

promises to be a brilliant machine

Sysics (Jan 24, 2012 at 3:16)

It will.

But the Snap will become my allround Bike. I want to get more style for downhill and with the Snap I can ride in the city, on my dirts, at out small half pipe and in the bikepark the 4X Tracks.

As I can see, you are riding the Hornet. Why didn't you picked the Phantom?

Hornet is more versatile, I use it to 4x, fr and light dh, but also for commuting. Phantom is made to 4x, has a short rear triangle and a shorter tube under the saddle.
