Hi Guys

The poploc..erm..thing on the top of the leg of my RS Reba fork (3 years old or so now) has stopped moving freely (i.e I have to reach down and turn it by hand). The cable is clean and although the poploc bar lever is not in showroom condition I don't think it's the problem

Is there anything simple i can do (preferably withough taking the fork to bits) to liven it up again? some squirts of GT85 help but not for long!

Cheers Guys
DaveK

    Well.

    i could do it :wink:

    It is not that hard to get the blue dial off a C clip lift of the cap and look.

    is that it? Once again RS are being very unhelpful with regard to "how to" documents etc!!

    Sorry, but forks are dleicate things and my cackhandedness is not suited to such things!

    if you want to take it to bits a bit more have a look in the FAQs about the spring removal but dont go too far...
