Murphy,

I wonder if the button got stuck somehow for a moment in the down position from dirt, grime??? I can't see how the knock off could go past that button. The design is straight from F1 and it is now the only type locking device they allow.

Maybe a burr? Weak spring?

I certainly want to get to the bottom of this one...fast!

David
