I'm sure the new spring will fix your problem, about $5. Took two of us to put it on.

One person to hold the bike up, the other to pull on new spring.&nbsp\\; Old spring is easy. Whole job two minutes

I did hook&nbsp\\;an old hanger on the new spring so the person&nbsp\\;pulling&nbsp\\;could sit in the ground behind the bike.

Is that really something that would be covered?&nbsp\\; If I damaged it by bottoming out&nbsp\\;I am sure they wouldnt cover that and I would have to pay them which I dont want to do at $97.50/hour
