Title: Spring Dislocation
Post by: drum on April 22, 2005, 16:35:02

Managed to dislocate a front spring while driving on the road today :oops:

I know there are 2 schools of thought :-

A) Dislocation Cones

B) Jubilee clip the top of the springs to the Turret Ring.

Any suggestions on which way to go??

Also I notice the rears have retention bars at the bottom, but my front ones don't should there be any??

Popping a front spring out takes some effort !!

I'd just clamp them in for how often it is likley to happen.

I ran jubilee clips on my hybrid for years and they never popped out.  Two on each spring worked a treat!!

Got dislocation cones now for more travel  :twisted:

I think I'll go with the jubille clips for now, and see how I get on.
