[mike5876]

Just got a 2011 flash one carbon.....lefty has no travel locked or unlocked...feels the same unless you really compress the hell out of it then there is travel atvthe bottom

It's only been ridden twice....anyone know the prob?.?

on the lock out remote , there will be a dial that says "gate" turn that all the way to the direction opposite of the arrow. if that does not work you may need to bleed the lock out remote

Has a rock shock remote I don't see where it says gate...

Does this help?

I'm pretty sure that gate does nothing on a Lefty. At least that was what I was told, I was also told RS and Cannodale are working on making it a lockout lever that doesn't even have the "gate". Someone please correct me if I'm wrong here, just going by what I was told and what I have noticed on my own fork.

Sounds to me like you need to bleed the lockout. One downfall is that the system is locked out as default. It is bled just like brakes.

You are right, but turning the gate can in some cases do something, it can make the lockout go from 'working' to 'not working correctly'...

only bleed if turning the gate does not work... also dont bleed it just like a brake, you need to bleed it with fork fluid!!
