Sorted! The flushing worked where brute force and ignorance failed! **** knows where the spring went but i have one a similar size so that should do, i'll have another bash in the morning,
Cheers all
It a bb and little spring which sit in a hole on top of the coil spring on some pace rc40's.
I've tried vigourously bashing the spring on the garage floor but doesnt seem to have moved at all :(
Dales Mountain Biking have a Sttep and Rocky day on the 7 th and there's stacks of local riding in the area for the other days! They've got accomodation as well..Bingo!
