As of Chrome 56 and other modern browsers, you have to add passive:false to the addEventListener call to make preventDefault work. So I use this to stop scrolling on mobile:

function preventDefault(e){
    e.preventDefault();
}

function disableScroll(){
    document.body.addEventListener('touchmove', preventDefault, { passive: false });
}
function enableScroll(){
    document.body.removeEventListener('touchmove', preventDefault, { passive: false });
}
