Thanks for the trick Whitestripes, I was trying to put the rubber strap on my new QoS and it was absolutely not possible.
I just tried your way and it done in 3 minutes. (broke a springbar in the process but I had spare ones!)
Mine is on the way...
Josh was really convincing about the quality of this one. The price is a bit on the high side but for ceramic, correct DW, double ar and all, its not that bad (!) considering ceramic HBB price for example.
From your pic, it looks really good...cant wait to receive it...
