We spotted this interesting device out in the wild today...all we know is that it links your shock's lockout or climb mode switch to your dropper post. When you drop your post, the shock opens, and when you raise your post, the shock locks out. The inventor claims it will work with different droppers and shocks, and is 3D printed...stay tuned for more.
the idea has lots of potential IMO. nice work.
I don't use lockouts for climbs, I use them for managing an inefficient pedaling style that I can't avoid, such as when laying down a burst of power. That may even happen on a downslope, such as when I crest a climb and want to get back up to speed ASAP, maybe to clear a section easier. While it's more often that I put more power out on climbs, sometimes I just want to steadily spin up to conserve strength, and it's much better to run it open in that case.
