I’m looking for a lever style remote for SID suspension. I have a dropper too. The Orbea Squidlock or Fox Twin Stick remotes (7mm pull) look like they’ll do the job for both the sus and dropper. Any suggestions or advice? If you have used either, or something else, what’s been your experience?
I’ve used the twin stick and liked it quite a bit.
The one downside is that you can only click through one step at a time, so you can’t go from completely locked out to completely open (or vice versa) without clicking into the middle setting along the way. I don’t think the Squidlock has that problem, but I’m not super familiar with it.
I also don’t know if there are different pull ratios between Fox and Rockshox lockouts. I feel like there aren’t, but it wouldn’t surprise me if there were. 
I believe the current 3P Fox and Rockshox SID sus both use 7mm pull between positions. At least that’s what I’ve seen poking around on the internet. I believe the Squidlock comes with a selection of cams to set different pulls. I need to do more research on that.
Yeah. I was considering getting 2P so the Rockshox Oneloc remote would work and it’d just be open or locked out, but the frame I bought comes with a 3P shock so I figured I just go with that.
I ran the squid lock before switching to FA and really liked it. Intuitive and worked really smoothly.
I don’t know what ratio the Scott Twinloc 3 position + Dropper lever uses, but I really like it for controlling alot of different things on one lever system.
After doing some more research I decided to go with the Squidlock. Pulls can be changed by swapping out cams and it can even be configured to control a 3P like a 2P switching between open and locked totally skipping the middle position. That might be the way I wind up using. IDK when I’ll have it operational, but I’ll report back when I do.

For anyone else reading, the twin stick can do this as well. 
Interesting. A few posts above Eddie mentioned not being able to do that as a shortcoming of the Twin Stick. So, it’ll pull 14mm with one click between open closed?
The Twin Stick can be configured to be a 2P switch.
What I said earlier was referring to it being set up as a 3P switch. In that mode, you have to click through the middle mode to get from fully open to fully closed or vice versa.
If you set it up as a 2P remote, though, you can go from fully open to fully closed since that middle step is removed.
OK. So it will pull 14mm with a single click. With that, is there any reason to get a 2P Sid?
I’ve only used one with Fox forks and shocks.
What do you mean by “any reason to get a 2P Sid?”
I had a 34SL fork that had a 3P lockout, but could also be used as a 2P. I used it both ways, and the Twin Stick worked well.
I’d assume (but again, don’t know for sure) that it would work well for 2P or 3P SIDs also.
The SID fork and shock are available as either 2P, open and locked, and 3P, open, pedal, and locked. They’re both the same price and same spec. As I understand it, the 2P version is for riders who just want to switch between open and locked and not bother with or use a pedal mode. The Squidlock can be configured to operate the 3P as if it was a 2P just switching between open and locked by skipping the pedal mode in both directions. So with a SID 3P and Squidlock, it can be run as either a 3P or a 2P, so there’s no reason to get a SID 2P.
It takes 7mm pull between open and pedal, and 7mm more between pedal and locked. To back and forth between open and lock with a single click, the remote has to pull 14mm.
Yeah, you can switch the Twin Stick to skip the middle mode also. You just have to swap a part on the lever, so this isn’t something you can easily do on the fly, which it sounds like might be the case for the Squidlock ?
I tried both 2P and 3P and ended up mostly using it as a 2P because I really didn’t see any benefit to the middle mode.
I could see this being nice on some bikes, but for modern XC bikes that are already really efficient in open mode, it seems like more trouble than it’s worth. 
Yeah, agreed. I’m going to start out with 3P for a while but will very likely change to 2P.
