I'm running a 120mm MX Comp ETA and find that the ETA lockout does help
significantly on climbs for both reasons you mention below.

Marzocchi's ETA feature lets the rider lower a 100mm fork by about an inch and
reduce the travel to an inch.

I'm not sure whether the claimed benefit is change in bike attitude, less
energy
absorbed by bobbing, or both.


But thinking about the bogging aspect, it seems like it might be a matter of
longer travel through less resistance vs shorter travel through greater
resistance. If that's true maybe the energy absorbed is a wash.

Anybody?
