It will increase you efficiency.
I thought you had to have lockout shocks to get this functionality? This is a separate device? I'm confused. It sounds great, but I am not ready to upgrade both front/rear shocks yet if that's required to get lockout -- I've put a lot of $$ into this bike in the past couple of months and need to wait awhile before I upgrade anything else. But a rear shock pump is certainly within my budget!

Tell me more about this device, if you could, so that I can understand it. Or a link, perhaps?

Thanks!
