Spring Dislocation

(1/2) > >>

drum:
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??

muddyweb:
Popping a front spring out takes some effort !!

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

landyman Ash:
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:

Steen Pranskau-Westermann:
I have cones on my 110" an it works without any problems.

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