Can the shock absorber be locked so it doesn't absorb for uphill climbs?

It cannot be locked. But you could manipulate the grip by griping the cushioned lower part of the hand grip. Therefore, you will not experience the absorbing when climbing uphill. Thanks.

That's a good question, but I have no answer. I do know I love these poles up the mountain and down!!!!

Yes, to both question. 2 sets of flip-locks which hold surprisingly well. The poles rotate to lock out the shock absorber.

Yes. Adjusts from no resistance to climbing a hill. A bargain for the price.

I believe yes you can, cause in my case i have a range rover and bikes never cross up the roof line.

yes, if secured properly- i have used it to hold on to and pull myself up , with assist from the rear step. there is room under the rack for you to place your foot while climbimg over or stepping to the side as i do on my Kawasaki

The bike is pretty rigid. I usually just go out of the saddle when I ride over known bumps. This lets my legs absorb most of the shock.

Not really locked, it's more of a detent. It works well either angled or straight.

Yes, doesn't impede access to the bars. I use it on MT bike bars, I modified a Mt bike I love with 700c wheels and the areo bars and have easy access to the brakes and shifters. I'm going to put a set on my road bike, makes riding more comfortable for me.

This would not work well on gravel or large hills. You could not go up the hills on it and it would be dangerous going down a large hill because there is not much of a brake on it.

no there is no way to lock it, but it is stiff enough that it would stay in position except in the most severe conditions

No, this stand locks down the rear (or front) tire. Only purpose is the hold bike up right without a conventional kick stand.

120. The breaking Power is not so good. And the 1st gear changes too quickly. So you don't have time to enjoy it when climbing a hill. There are instructions one the net on how to fix that. And use a front brake to be safe. Cheers

I don't believe there was that option. We tried two of these, but had issues with both. We have since moved to a newer Safety 1st model and love it

the attachment prevents the shifter from being knocked or accidentally shifted to the reverse position. I've though of removing it myself to facilitate shifting to reverse.

This is probably not the board for you then. Going slightly uphill, two pushes won't get you very far. It's something that can be adjusted if you change the wheels maybe

I'm not certain, but I doubt it. There is a circular hole in the back that the Topeak snaps into. You could potentially rig it up to work fine, however, not sure how that would work from safety perspective.

It's designed to be locked, however, if you leave the top clamp loose, it will spin. I honestly don't think it would cause any damage to do so.
