So, I couldn't believe the difference was as much as a pound and tried to find the weight difference between steel and ti 5th Element springs.
Couldn't find it on the Progressive site but a site called weight weenies (or something) shows 937g total weight with steel and 790g with ti. Assuming it's close to accurate, that's 147g or a little over 5oz difference.
Worth the $$? You decide...

Good gawd ya think they made the hose long enough? The volume of that hose has got to exceed the cartridge and certainly the remote res.
don't make fun of my "hose"!!Damn True said:
If I was making fun of your "hose" I would have said, "good gawd do you think it's long enough to get beyond the zipper?"Acadian said:don't make fun of my "hose"!!

You can buy direct from Renton. However you will pay full MSRP which will be about $210-$240.
Check Go-Ride, but you can only get what they have left in stock. Scott said price break was 10 springs per rate and stroke NOT combined. Needless to say, that would take a massive capital outlay for all brands, rates and strokes for what is a highly specialized item.
Your best bet if you have a Fox shock and Go-ride doesn't have it, would be to get it directly from Renton.
If you have a Avalanche or a Romic try them first. Although Romic only carries a couple of spring rates in many sizes. For example they only have 350lb and 550lb in 3" stroke. Avalanche I believe cares all rates and they are the same size as Romic. Craig sells them for $195.

Yeah i'm sure, i just did the switch a couple of weeks ago and wrote the numbers down so I wouldn't forget.Acadian said:
BTW the Ti spring was a 450lb and the steel was a 550 lb if it matters.
well there lies your problem!! that is a 100 lbs difference...that buys alot of beers in the UK!Jesus said:

Is the Fox's name Kevin?OGRipper said:
He tends to smell bad...
That's it. I'm hobbling downhill and whacking you in the shins with a crutch. I just tried: No my fox will not fit my new frame so I'm stealing yours. I just hope sven martin doesn't see me with it.Acadian said:Is the Fox's name Kevin?
