Where to buy new Spring replacements for 756??

[fierce750]

Since Rapid Descent has closed where else can we buy the replacement springs?

[fyrstormer]

Just buy a coilover shock from Noleen J6. They work SO MUCH BETTER than the rubber springs ever did.

Any idea what model # I would need and how much are we talking?

Just sort through the selection to find your application.  http://shop.noleenj6.com/category.sc;jsessionid=992D641B59A4665305610F8766B502E3.qscstrfrnt02?categoryId=7

NR-1, NR-2, NR-4 are your options. Any of the ones with a cone-shaped mount at one end. I have two NR-4s and an NR-2; the NR-4 is definitely the nicest, because it has preload/compression/rebound adjustments. You'll be amazed how much faster your bike will feel once you get the damping dialed-in and the pedal bob goes away.

you can still get elastomers here if you want to go back to that option:

I realize that cost is a limiting factor, i.e. he might be able to afford new elastomers but not a coil shock -- but I'm curious, has anyone ever switched to coils or air and then switched back to elastomers because they liked them better? (when I say "liked", I mean "liked the ride better", not "liked the retro look".)

Also I wonder how do the new elasomers available compare to the ride given by the original elasomers. The RDS ones were known to be a bit firmer. This was maybe because they were made from a different material. The originals being a sort of aerated elasomer and more supple(and self distructive).
