Anyone have an old 450# for 2.0 stroke DHX?

Re-homing the loaner Turner; 2.0 stroke shock needs a lighter spring for new owner. Thinking 450ish is the right spring for a 155 lb rider. Anyone have anything in that range they'd part with cheap? $37 for a new one seems silly given the number of unused old springs I'm sure we have amassed collectively...

You know, that's where I went first, but people want like $25 plus shipping minimum, so that's the same as a new one w free shipping from any number of vendors. I'll make a few offers but expect offended responses. They Know What They Have!

Ed: First thing is to try it out with the rider as-is, which is now possible...there's a potential for the existing spring to be OK with zero preload.

Ok no rush...current spring may even work at min preload. Need to get a test fit. I forgot how much lighter I was when I set this bike up.

Thanks!!

Unless I’ve sold it or done something, I’m 80% sure I have one.

Well, I *should* have one, but I can't locate it. It would have been a 450x2.35 or 2.4 or something like that.
