Ingram Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 long story as to why i want to do this, anyway ive herd about using springs from pens in them for the springs in the freebody, so will it actually work? Before anyone says "just go and but some there only about a pound" i (like anyone else) would MUCH prefer having them now cos i need to rebuild wheel for my full susser changing the xt hub for a bulb and dont wanna wait till tuesday till i get em, thanks for all your help :D Jake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthewholdsworth Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 call me stupid but whats wrong with the springs in it already??? this topic was on here a while back and provoked a big debate. in my opinion if hope put those springs in then surely they must work fine if not better than other alternatives.

Ashley Smith Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 i have to agree with matt here, theres nothing up with the springs that come in the bulb hubs regards ash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonMack Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 As Jake wants to rebuild the wheel maybe he wants new ones, but doesnt want to wait until tuesday to buy some so is wondering if pen springs will be ok. Oh I'm sorry I just explained what was written in the first post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UrbanLegend Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 Someone I ride with has been running cut-in-half biro springs in his XC for about a year now, with no problems. It's absolutely stupidly loud though! Not sure if it would work in a bulb due to the smaller teeth inside the hub. Be careful if you do try it!
