Replacing the leaf will only help if the new leaf has more free camber.Originally Posted by Ozdunc
Well OK, not much progress on the springs, but I have a cunning plan
I've bought 2 individual leafs from Ding*cr*ft in the UK for $10 ea plus postage. I'm hoping that adding those newer leaves into the spring pack will restore a bit more camber. They are 2nd leaf with the military wrap, so I can either replace that one, or trim them down to replace one of the others.
Might not work but at that prices its worth the experiment I think.
Cheers
Adding an extra leaf (e.g. a full length leaf like the 3rd one down, will make a big difference, at the expense of some suspension travel).
Got a link for the replacement leaves?

Yeah, what I'm thinking ATM, is to replace no2 leaf with the new ones, see how that goes.
If I'm still blowing through the travel, I'll trim the old no2 to somewhere between 2 and 3 in length and remove no9. If thats too stiff I'll trim it further to somewhere between 3 and 4 in length and try again, until I reach somewhere I like.

Well springs turned up. Camber looks quite acute and spring thickness is 4mm so all good so far. Looking surprisingly OEM.
Might be a while before I get round to fitting them as I'm building a rear bar and spare wheel carrier for the Cruiser and I seem to have a few mountain bike races coming up.
But I'll let you know how it goes...
