trials hoe

As per title dunno where else to ask now ,I'm stumped, my commuter has a hope mono on the back (the old one from the long frogoten time of the xc and bulb) and after a full strip down new bearings, springs and pawls a few months back I've noticed its all gone a bit quiet, took it apart and all pawls look fine as do the ratchet faces so I can only assume the springs were a bit crap. I dont want to order more springs and pawls for this happen again so after a look around I found a spring place the sells springs, I know all the lengths and sizes I need the only thing I dont know is the compresion rate/spring rate. Does anybody know??? I asked hope and got a paragraph of ums and arrs ended with ''buy a pro 2,'' bit dissapointing from hope they've always been bang on with their answers in the past:| I know its a long shot but any input would be good Cheers guys.

haha that rings a bell ... go on no-wage page!... what ever happened to hawes (spelling) and ed tongues brother? I recall the tongues iin an old ass mbuk mag farting about on a canal barge. too many riders fall into obscurity, trials and noteriety don't go hand in hand, unless your one of the few legends.

ha ha ... she's gonna crash... lenosky was a big fella for a trials guy, that schwin took an ass kickin that day. anybody know where I can find evolve and other older flicks on dvd?, im buggered if I can remember names anymore, takes me back to where it all started for me.

After a dig around while I was down at my moms I found my old copy of evolve on tape and not having a tape player anymore I cant watch it wich is lame was a good watch. however after a nostalgic think back I remembered there was a young kid like 4 or 5 I think (been a while since I watched it) I'm sure this youngster was awsome for his age, does anybody remember this kids name? I'm curious to see if he still rides or not, it was only a short clip but its been doing my head in! anybody know?
