I hear that you are considering three blades upfront on your next road bike.

Two mates have seen a rooikat on seperate occasions in Majik, I have also seen a rooikat on Meerendal. Brilliant.

I see there have been mails about Cube bikes availability in SA etc and it would seem they are. I would like to hear if there is someone that has actually bought/ riden something like the Cube AMS PRO. I just need some feed back on stiffness, small bump compliance and quality of the frame.

That straight bit of the spring that goes throught the little hole was the part thatgave me problems. Basically the motion of the shock caused it to pop out and then I had not spring action. I am not sure how long the spring needs to be according to the manufacturer but it made sense to stretch the spring a little and ensure that I had more of the straight bit through the little hole. You do require a special clamp the hold the plastic part when removing the large nut at the top of the poploc and some of the threads are opposite. It might be easier to get JP to take it apart, he knows how to fix the problem if it is the same problem that I had.

It is even harder to send the fork to the local agent for a warranty claim when you bought it overseas so that you get get it for half the local price (not saying that it is right to do that kind of thing).

I received a reba race in April and had the same problem. In my case, the thin metal spring that is wrapped around the poplock shaft had popped out and was also sitting too far up the steel shaft. So I removed the spring, stretched it a little, relocated into the little hole and put the whole lot back together. Since then I haven't had a problem. If you can get down to Recycles in Bellville and chat to JP, he did most of the work, all I did was the stretching.
