Anyway.
The poploc doesn't function on my Rebas, fine. But I see you can buy a crown mounted adjuster. Does anyone know if this is just a simple swap? It's really just to tidy up the fork I know changing it for a non remote wont actually make it work.

I assume TF could sort the poploc out at the next service.

Friday Q and A 🙂

What do you mean exactly - the poplock doent function? When you press the lever does the dial on the crown turn?

Can you turn the dial by hand? If it does turn does it have no effect?

Easy swap, you only have to remove the moco to remove the return spring, I've got kits in stock too.
Is it that the poploc isn't returning?

I think some of the internal gubbins changes too.

PeterPoddy will know...

peterpoddy has an online guide, with pics too !!

dead easy, you have to take the motion control unit out, undo the spring and leave it in there, reinstall mc unit - 15 min job. then put on the new crown top knob, which costs about £25.

I did mine a yr ago and it is now much better.

Poploc turns the dial, but it has no effect on the fork what so ever.

That sounds like the seals in the rebound damper may be leaking oil into the lowers which stops the lockout working.

The other symptom of this - do you get full travel on them (eg if you let the air out of the plus and minus and press em down)?

But isn't that more something to do with how you've adjusted the floodgate thingy? IE, if you turn it off completely, the poploc don't do owt, but you can adjust it to different levels of bump sensitivity.

I may have this wrong. Or in the spirit of today, A over T....

in that case changing to a crown top dial isn't likley to fix it IMO

If could be Elfin - but even then you'd still get even a moderate amount of lock.

I've had this leak problem on 2 RS forks so I might be jumping to conclusions here tbf.

Actually I've just had a quick look at mine, and now my poploc's not orking propply! 😯

What have you done, Oldgit?? Invoked mass-poploc failure using the power of tinternet??

They might need a service actually.

Is the gate fully on?
Either you've got blown seal on the Moco, easy to change.
Or as said above you've lost a bit of oil into the lowers via the seal head seals.
I have full damper side seal kits that will do the moco and seal head or a kit just for the seal head.
All issues would also be sorted by a full service.

The travels all good. Engaging the poploc does nothing at all. I realize that just fitting a fork mounted adjuster won't solve things, but it will look a lot tidier.

mine stopped working after I hung the bike upside down for a while, a few miles on and it started working again?

Thanks LoCo, I'll go through everything again on Saturday though I'm pretty sure I've tried every settings option.
These are Reba World Cups, Black Box jobbies, just in case they have any unique issues.

you picked the right day - the usual suspects are all arguing on the chat forum so you've only got sensible replies 😉

Loco - bit of a thread hijack but I'm looking to send some Rebas off to you next week (following our email discussions last month). I guess it's easier to just fill your online form in but, what's the lead time like with you currently?
