    I’ve acquired a softer spring for my wife’s ancient Axels,but its the wrong model year,and is about 1cm too long.I’d have a go,but think I’d need an angle grinder.I’m reluctant to shell out for a one off job,can I get an adaptor for an electric drill,so I can use a cutting disc on it? Or any other ideas?

    BITD – literally 20 years ago, I shortened a pair of Iddon Zed spring with a hacksaw and a file. Worked fine.

    I’ve already taken the teeth off two blades,and not made a noticable mark.

    They must be made of sterner stuff! They are not titanium are they…?
