Tomm Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 I believe Wiggle also do them. Or if you`re friendly with your LBS they can get them for free off Hope. I would imagine that if you phone Hope and ask nicely they might pop some in the post for you, but I don`t know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomm Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 i took a load of biro's apart and the springs were wayyyyyyy too long , will it work if i cut them down? I heard that people who did that killed their hubs. If you are going to do it, try and get some proper springs ASAP :shifty: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nick Riviera Posted November 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 i am , but everyone doesnt like visa electron , i'll phone hope on monday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 I know for a fact tartybikes do them, as when i snapped two of mine, thats who i asked first. Given, tartybike wasn't actually a shop then, but i still got them of Adam, so i'm sure as a shop they will have some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smo™ Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 i would if the site worked :shifty: You'd be running fine on some biro springs for a week or two until you can get them replaced. Wouldn't suggest it for a long term solution though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthewholdsworth Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 your LBS probably has a shed load of them. if they stock hope they probs have a spares box. i would have been able to send u some had i gone home from uni this wkend ive got a fair few spare, but they are in barnoldswick and im in sheffield, so thats not much use to anyone!

street trials rider Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 (edited) my mate phoned up hope and mentioned to them how impossible it was for him to find the springs on their own, so they asked for his details and sent him out like 10 springs..... FOR FREE.... just give them a call and see what they can do you for :P Or, the springs out of the long shreader valves, i used them for a year or 2, could tell which 2 of the 3 were valve springs, they were louder than the normal hope 1 Edited November 13, 2005 by street trials rider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
