The dull thud, the puck dropping free, the next shot already running. At some point that thud stops sounding solid and starts sounding rattly: the top has had enough. Tube and base are still in good shape – only the head is done. That is exactly what the replacement top is for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe top is the upper part of the Thumpa. It sits on the tube, carries the knock rod with its rubber sleeve and absorbs every single strike. It is made of plastic and fits the Rhino Thumpa 300 and the Thumpa 860.

As soon as the thud sounds rattly and the rod has too much play in the head, we swap it – a wobbly head eats through the rubber sleeve in weeks instead of months. When we swap, we take the rod and the rubber sleeve out of the old top and fit them into the new one; a drop of oil makes pulling on the rubber sleeve easier. That is our experience from the bar in Bern, not a lab figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat goes with it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou will find more knock-out solutions in \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/knock-boxen-schubladen\"\u003eKnock Boxes and Drawers\u003c\/a\u003e, the brand's full range in the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/rhino-coffee-gear\"\u003eRhino Coffee Gear Collection\u003c\/a\u003e and tools for the daily bar routine in \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/barista-equipment-tools\"\u003eBarista Equipment\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd because the next shot follows the knock: our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/kaffeebohnen\"\u003ecoffee beans\u003c\/a\u003e from our own roastery.
