Ebay, my friend. I paid less than a $80 for one and 120 for the other. The Ti deals exist.

You can all go to hell. I'll be joining you shortly and I'm bringing beer and cheetos.

I've had a shitty cold for the past 4 days, exploding would be good!

I've always kept a close eye on ebay for ti springs but have never seen anything the size I need.

going back to bh's 'fat kid' theory…it seems he may be onto something!

You were going to buy a spring that didnt work for the dhx anyways; go team obtainium! :)

I have been 100[HTML_REMOVED]#37; LBS, but they always beat the on-line prices after the bro-deal is added in. I would have bought my new Helmet anywhere it was cheapest.

I'm in somewhere around 1200 so far this year: new shock, bars, pedals, endcaps and custom wheels. Still need new cranks and a stem before I feel Whistler-ready!
