Hi gang.......I use the 'Quick Uk' carbon push rod for my Rappie 50, while
doing some minor acrobatics, one of the aluminium end pieces 'failed',
(major upset followed). With this in mind I looked at the broken end and
where the Al. sheath joins the carbon rod it must have developed a stress
fracture, GRIEF.

So what I'm going to do is, do away with the Al. and carbon components, and
re-make it out of one piece of Titanium, but still keeping the two adjusting
end pieces, which will be far lighter and much stronger than the original.

Has any one else suffered with this problem?

Does anyone else want else want any b-spoke parts made?

Regards
