suntour cyclone rear mech question

Post by NorwichVelo »

Hi I'm just trying to sort out a rear mech for myself this time - it's a short cage suntour cyclone but the spring is broken just the end mind. I've tried heat and bending it over but I just can't get any purchase on it- it's a three pais of hands job. Anybody know where I could get a spring or does anybody have one in their spares box or solved this problem?

Regards

Dean

I've managed to make a workable repair to these springs by bending them cold.

It has been a while but IIRC the best tools for the job are two pairs of the smallest mole grips that you can find.

HTH

cheers
