Title: Replacement Springs for ODS and GDT
Post by: Dentistastic on September 11, 2003, 04:34:38 am

Hi guys, dunno if anyone is interested but the fact that mountainspeed have stopped producing their Pro springs is a real problem seeing I am a poor student and cannot afford Risse shocks at the mo, anyway I got a quote from a company in the UK for the following springs, which are perfect for the ODS and GDT units:

Thats a good price here in the UK as the mountain speed spring used to retail at around £70 for one spring a while back, I should know bought one for my old 856,your only problem is the speed springs came as a kit with aluminium mounting collars,I don't think you can't just mount the springs on the current collars on an ods unit you may have to find a machine shop to make you some suitable collars thus adding some extra cost,Simon [smiley=disbelief.gif]
