Hi as above really, do you have one? what's it on? and which brand?
Just a bit of research as to what I'll be stocking 🙂

I use a Nuke Proof ti spring on my shocker but thats a full on downhill bike. There really isn't much difference over a steel spring except it's a fraction lighter. To be honest I bought it because it looks much better than the stock black steel spring. Nuke Proof seem to be the most reasonably priced and most available in the UK.

RCS one here. Came as part of the deal I got on the shock. Would have been pissed off if I'd paid full RRP, as it was only about 50g lighter than the steel one.

Yes.

On a Banshee Pyre built up burly.

Diverse mainly because of the price and I didn't want Nukeproof.

yes,
IH Sunday
progressive (from a 5th and fitted to my DHX)
it's lighter than many other Ti springs but didn't get it for weight saving, just needed a 375lb rate

I did have a 700 lb Nukeproof one on my 6 pack but I decided the rate was too low and I'm playing about with 750 and 800 steel springs. Might be all in my mind but it felt like the ti spring was more supple. Actually, I'm sure it's all in my head, but the finish was nicer and it lopped a chunk of weight off. Anyone know of a 750/775 Ti spring for a 2" DHX?
