    Hi, guys, as you all know, my forks are solved now, now comes to the shock spring as looking through the set up sheet...it does need changing in order to get my tona handles the way I want.

    I phoned around, K-tech won't have the spring in stock til late March, Ohlins doesn't do springs for standard shock...

    So I tried T3 racing, they suggest me speak to Nitron, so I just had a call and chat with a lovely lady on the phone at Nitron, she said they can make one for me to fit the standard shock, also suits my extremely light weight with exactly measurement at 96N/mm (according to their data base) at £75 delivered, but they need the length and diameter of the standard spring as it is build to order, would like to ask if anyone has ever measure them?

    Thanks a lot! :D :D

    I ask T3 racing and Clive Wood, they both gave me the measurement of original spring

    The inside diameter is 55mm, free length is 189mm, posted here just for future if anyone needs it.

    Ah, read it wrong. I have a SHOCK in a box, not a spring, so I wouldn't know the free length unless I were to roll off all the preload and even then there's no guarantee that it'd be full length. Glad you got sorted.
