On my first ride yesterday, one of my torsion springs broke, right in the middle of the coil. I was only trail riding and all of a sudden I noticed I was bottoming out. Is this a common occurrence and how difficult are they to remove and replace? Thanks in advance.:beer:

Not that hard to do, if you do one, do both only like 50 bucks each.

BUMMER! Did it let go on you? I unloaded at the Graystokes Parking lot. First 3 km was pretty sketchy but was pretty good (on the trails) by the upper parking lot. If you head for Sicamous this year let me know. Is Denny still riding?
