Now I have a 88 cent costing spring I can renew every race if needed and so far I can see working better than all others I have tried.
Beside that all, you have tried is as you said, so you also have the urge to try something when you see it. What parts manufacturers show us and sell us does not have to be the best options. I now know for sure if you want a good spring that will not loose its strength by the influence of the pre-tension and heat it will cost you some money because the expensive materials.
And do you know what is fun with this spring?
With combaning thicker and thinner rings as parallel and serie stacking you can change the working
Yes we have and it works
88 cent (1 USD) x 11? The good springs for 4,30 Euro will not loose its strength, we use them the whole year. Beside that, changing the working has also something to do with the shoe, weights, gap, engine etc... now you add one more dependency and more cost.
It is always fun to try something new, this just does not add vallue.
