I’ve had three warranty replacements / repairs via SRAM and a brand new set of Rebas that have had this problem. The forks come back working fine then like yours, after a few hours start to feel hard and lacking plushness. The latest, brand new pair that SRAM / Merlin sorted me out with have been great for the longest but I just went out for a ride today and the tell-tale lack of plushness seems to be returning so I think I will get them repaired and flog them on ebay.
Its a real shame as when these forks are working as they should they feel great. Having owned the older dual air Rebas in the past though, these new single air forks are much less reliable.
