Colleagues,
After a conversation with the designer of the shuttle locks at Coyote Design,
I realized that I had made a mistake. The shuttle lock does not have an
integrated expulsion valve. However, it does NOT allow for air flow through
the pin site, and therefore contributes to creating a vacuum environment with
a well fitting socket. A suspension sleeve and an expulsion valve can be
added to create maximum vacuum suspension.
The Alpha lock does have an integrated expulsion valve.
