Pro-Pedal looks to be flicked on in the downhill mode  ;)

What sharp eyes you have, best be careful not to cut yourself ;)

The most annoying thing about this frame and shock combination is when you're on the bike the propedal switch is pretty much inaccessible. I nearly always have propedal on, because I'll have it on from the end of the last ride, and when I notice it it's when I'm in a rockgarden, and it's too late to change it. I might see if I can turn the lever upside down so I can reach it, I was really noticing it by comparison to the Domains at Turner Hill.

You can get debit cards these days you can use as a credit card online, you don't have to fall into the credit trap!

Apparently you can only fit the propedal lever one way, but you can superglue part of a zip tie on it so you can use it like a rip cord from out the side where your fingers don't get crushed.

Setup a Paypal account and link it to do a direct debit from your bank account. Takes several days to clear, but the easiest option if yiou do not want a credit/debit card.

I just notice the most insignificant things :D
The 05 frame is slightly different - so the lever is a tad easier to reach on mine, although I do run a bottle cage from time to time which obstructs access to it.

Well, I've been off the trails for 6 months, but I'm now back in business, with some new upgrades.

The reign now has Juicy 7s, with braided goodridge hose (so good!) and ceramic pads, X0 shifter, X9 derailleur, matchmakers both sides and orange grips, ooooooooh.

I now run propedal off most of the time. It doesn't make much difference to efficiency on rough tracks, and it's muuuuuuch more comfortable when sitting down pedalling over rocks.
