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]
