Suspension seat post replacement spring
I have a Galaxy Discovery Twin with what I think is the original suspension seatpost for the stoker.
It looks like this seatpost had a combination of spring and elastomer to provide the suspension, but the spring is missing.
Any suggestions where I might source a replacement spring? Length would be ~60mm uncompressed, external diameter ~20mm.
Thanks!
Not sure where a replacement spring can be obtained, but I believe they are fairly basic seat posts - a whole basic suspension seatpost can be obtained for around £6 upwards on Amazon warehouse. Could also check ebay, gumtree or Facebook for used ones.
Best wishes
Here's the solution I found in case it's useful for others.
I ordered a €5 replacement spring from Hollandbikeshop: https://hollandbikeshop.com/en-gb/bicycle-saddles-seatposts/seatpost-parts/seatpost-part/seatpost-spring-medium-from-55-to-84kg/
I expected this to be a bit long, and indeed it was, but trimming the elastomer which fills the remainder of the length of the seatpost was easy with a sharp knife. The setpost is now springing beautifully once again.
