Hey Rick. What model of Shock is it? (AD-10, Cloud 9, AD 8?). Does it have adjustable rebound or
compression knobs or just an air-valve? If it is an AD 10 or 12, turn the compression knob fully
clockwise for road riding. This will increase the amount of force needed to initiate movement. If it
is a Cloud 9, there is a lockout button (actually more of a compression all-on button). If there are
no such adjusters , contact Cane Creek about an upgrade. I'm not sure if it is still available but
they were doing a trade-in on old shocks towards new ones. If that is over, you still may have a
chance. Do you have the Shock owners manual? If so, it will detail how to dis-assemble the shock and
re-position the piston inside to create a more progressive spring rate, or a more linear one. Not
the same as a lockout, and may fix one problem while creating another, but short of a new
shock...... If you have no manual, Cane Creek can Mail you one. Good Luck Keith.
