Where can i get a replacement spring for my Girvin Vector 2 fork to replace the Micro-cellulor-eurathane which has hardened with age and is useless.

Hi,
quick cheap fix - replace the " Micro-cellulor-eurathane" (MCU's) - see my posting on "new "ProFlex K2 Elastomer MCU" for sale" they're on ebay and (I think) very good value.
More expensive ($100?for both ends) and maybe not available anymore:-
Speedspring conversion kit - I did this on my XP-X (856) it includes a spring and some spacers and makes a world of difference - BUT I'm sure is only any good if you have a post '95 bike with dampers (ODS or GDT) otherwise you'll just have a pogo stick!
OR: get a Noleen unit, but I don't know which one will fit the Vector, also it depends on what bike you have as to what will fit on the back.
Finally:- Most expensive - Replace the entire MCU unit with a modern shock - I have no experience of this or what would fit, but I'm sure other "Heads" could offer advice if you go this way. (probably cheaper to replace the fork?...)
Regards
Colin S

colin is right...you may be able to get a shock for the girvin but even a second hand one would probably be more expensive than a used telescopic or crosslink.The noleen for a girvin is different than a x link.In the meantime the is a post at the top for a link to new MCU..until you find a replacement.I am sure there was a link to an ods shock here somewhere to,but i cant find it,dont know if it is a front or back unit.
