If they are cheap, I recommend getting a spare. They are indeed super light, you can, indeed, lower your settings. The downside is that if you don't moniter your spacing periodically, they will break. The gap at the back of the receiver in front of the back block is critical- too many smacks into the body and this little widget will break. That is the price you pay for reduced weight, I guess.

SLIK also has a nice light bolt.

useless fact: it weighs in at only 5.4g


if you get one update this thread and let me know how it goes, from the sounds of it it should reduce bounce and maybe add a few bps, but is there any truth to the fragility rumours? is there a uk user that can verify this or not?

I could send you the broken one, but I would require a public apology for infering that as a non-resident of the United Kingdom, I am a teller of gratuitous falsehoods.:)

Also postage, VAT, and some stickers or something.

The way to remedy that is to get AKA's "straight" pump arm (used to be available from G3). The typical "bent" pump arm allows for rotation at either the ram or the back block which tends to close the gap one should leave between block and body. No probs with straight pump arm. I always considered it a must have for any cockers.
