Does anybody know of where to buy a firm ti spring for pikes?

Thanks.

I seriously doubt such a thing exists.

On RS forks the U-turn gubbins is integral to the spring, so it would have to be a special job to knock one up, and probably cost more than the fork as a result.

Why would you want such a thing anyway? Me = Baffled
😕

Would drop a fair chunk of weight. Can't see it existing though!

I've just put a standard spring (inc shaft, U-turn bits, top cap - just as it came out of the fork) on our admittedly dodgy kitchen scales.

320g all in

I just noticed they do a ti spring for the boxxers. I was just hoping to find out if they also did one for the pikes.

Another question. Where best to get a firm spring for the pikes?

Thanks.

you'll be lucky to get a used one, unless things have changed since when I was looking

TFTuned is where I got mine - googling found a couple of places offering lower prices but were either out of stock, or just plain shit
